The look and feel of your site is great! Nice job! I agree with other commenters about the need for richer data. For example, just picking on the "top performing" site in your list…

Curious how you measure the improvement you make to your customer sites. Can you explain the methodology?

Great writeup! Couple questions: - I'm curious why querying before a write makes such a big difference. I would have guessed that updating a document that's not in RAM would first …
