    Median values are now shown for all statistics on the summary page (shows both average & median).

  • Too much javascript

    Too much javascript?

    The amount of javascript on each page are calculated and compared with the amount of textual content, to make it visible how much javascript that is used.

  • The size of js & css compared to text
