You guys mention < 25ms as the performance hit of having you guys in front of the client's application. Is there a more concrete SLA you guys provide? Do you have a sense of what that hit might cost in page rank (there's some theories out there that time to first byte is one of the features that search engines reward)?

Hey 0bfus, we're working on a fancy performance metrics dashboard and status page to answer these questions! Also, we've done extensive research on pageload speed's effect on page rank, and we found that <25ms of incremental latency does not have any impact. We're working on a case study for the latter!
