Does the page load test include asset loading and javascript execution? Based on the numbers I just got, I'm guessing not. Google's Page Speed tool measures for these. If your tool did this in the simple interface you have and from around the world, I'd be hooked.

Definitely a great execution though. Clean design, good name, and cute logo.

EDIT: The reason it'd be great if the page load test included these is because a) I could then test for what Google is testing for when figuring my site's speed into search results [1], and b) I could easily test the real-world impact of using a CDN.

It does not currently include asset loading, just loading of that URL. Tools like Page Speed and YSlow do this very well, but only from your current location. Combining Ping Brigade with those tools should give you the complete picture.

EDIT: But thank you for the suggestions. Certainly something to think about/add in phase 2.
