really great content !
After a first post on HN we had great feedback (thank you guys!), and we just released this new version to go further!
Thanks! comparisons are indeed part of our roadmap, we have some mockups, but nothing we are really proud of for now! I would be glad to have more of your feedback, thanks!
Thanks for your answer. That would be an idea, but it's still an additional checkbox and we like to keep it simple, because asking thousands of users just to use 10 or 15 logos does not really worth it.

But I agree that theoretically T&C allow us to do more than using logos on our own website, I'll try to find a way to add a restriction on what we can do without explicit consent.

Thanks! (my nickname is simply 'damien' in my pro email address if you want to send me directly the mentioned email)

Registering, we will be able to disable any email notification even before we send you any
The email address will be used if you create a free monitoring, to send you weekly digests and alerts in case of quality issue / slowdown on your monitored page. So yes, we reject temporary address as we don't want to analyze daily your webpage if you're not reading our e-mails.
Thanks! We know, that's currently not an issue for us if you want to bypass it, as the advice are available after free registration!
From our homepage, under the URL field, you can select a mobile device (Nexus) rather than Firefox.

With a paid account, you can customize any HTTP Header (and more)

Thanks for the advice. We look forward finding someone able to help us to grow the business (we're all engineers...) and to be native english, and still be able to speak a technical english. Not easy, but we will as soon as possible!
I understand what you're saying. I take full responsability of the inconvenience - as I'm the one that have added this line :)

If you don't want us to do so, just drop us en e-mail, and we will not and never do so.

About the background of this line: "politely ask a business" > unfortunatelly, it takes time, we are 4 young guys and are dealing with bigger companies. We were facing issues to get answers, we were losing time, and for the one and single goal to add a logo on our homepage and to help us to make a living from this startup...

We use Selenium and some proxies to collect data
This suggestion only apply when using mobile testing with our tool. We do not penalize target="_blank" on desktop websites.

And unfortunately, for now, our service still needs big updates for mobile UX, but most of our users only use us on desktop.

Thanks a lot for this great piece of feedback.

- T&C : that was a fast fix for something, it will be solve as soon as we find a few minutes

- lazyloading on W3C listings: agreed and noted

- PDF/average top-1000 result : indeed, we have to add that!

- Detected Technologies: Yes for Google Analytics, that's odd. No for social widgets. We are mainly focused on CMS and frameworks.

- Table of Contents: you're right

- color-coding: it will be changed soon. New policy will be: if you have one issue at least in a given category, the category will be red (for now is based on the average grade of the category).

- "short" report: you're not alone, we add you to the list, but still to few people

- 99/100 damned!

"A good pricing hook might be a free (scheduled) report once a month"

> you have that daily for free (from you're dashboard, you can create a "monitoring"). Paid options allow to use the tool on other pages than homepages and to use advanced settings (custom bandwidth, authentication, etc)

Thanks again! (and sorry for typos)
