- Its benchmark says 150 sites were picked before testing; the page links to raw rows and a script.
Field notes
The benchmark breaks results out by categories including retail, news, classifieds, developer sites, jobs, and government, alongside an overall comparison. The page reports both median and slow-tail read times, and distinguishes the full tool from a free-tools-only configuration. These figures are project-presented results, not independently verified by the supplied evidence.
