#2The average YSlow score for all sites is 69. Wah. Higher than I expected!

#3Nice methodology. What I'd be really interested in seeing is how these numbers impact traffic or conversion rate.

If you use Google Analytics, you can create an account at www.yottaa.com and we'll chart visitor count, bounce rate, and a few other metrics against your websites performance. If your site is new to us, it will take a few days before there's enough data to be interesting.
We have a lot of very cool features planned to extend this as well.
We're also working on putting together some aggregated statistics about these metrics for a future blog post.

#5I just ran a website I administer and I've been waiting for a few minutes for results. How long should it take? When I hover over the rolling progress bar icons, a tooltip reads "Coming soon..." and I don't know if that means my results are coming soon or the feature is coming soon.

Ok, wow, I was speaking more of the aggregate statistics, but both of those sound like great features. We're actually about to take our wholesaler/b2b only electronics site retail/open-to-the-public in the next month or so. I'm going to keep you guys bookmarked. We've never spent any time optimizing our site unless there have been huge bottlenecks. This could be a very useful service for us.
Great looking site, btw.

A few minutes is definitely too long. Should be more like 30 seconds.
Try refreshing the page or searching for the URL again.
What URL were you querying?

#8When your service collects YSlow data, does it take into account CDNs with custom CNAMEs? YSlow gives me an artificially low score for my sites until I go to Firefox's about:config and add my own CDN CNAMEs to the list of known CDNs.

#9My personal pet peeve: blog.yoursite.com with no link to yoursite.com.
Extra bonus points for this one having a name so bad that typing it into a new window while reading the original landed me here instead: http://yotta.com/
As to the service itself, it will be wildly inaccurate for anybody running on Cloudfront or another CDN that allows using CNAMES so that img.yoursite.com is served from the CDN. I'm curious to hear their plans for dealing with that.

7 minutes and counting for me.
It looks like the site is having issues with load. My first click of the link gave me a giant wall of text, which looked like the result of badly crafted HTML + a dropped CSS request.
Other pages have serious Flash of Unstyled Content issues, as well the "render everything, then collapse everything with jQuery" issue that you never notice in dev, but everybody on the internet sees every page load.
