Hey, I'm the main author of this. Happy to see that people like it! As I wrote elsewhere in the comments we're planning to redesign the results page and rewrite all the text later this year. The current page hasn't changed much since mid-2016. Need to refresh/expand technical advice, be more clear about the limitations of the service, etc. I'll note down all suggestions here. I'd also like recommend a similar project…

Thank you for your time and effort making this!

Good tool, inspired me to fix up my homepage a bit since a few broken pieces got me downrated (though legitimate hits).

Very nice! Tells me to add " " which I didn't think of, because I don't link to external resources.

I have added `Referrer-Policy` header to my nginx configuration instead. What is better meta tag or header and why?

is the older of the two, and has IE/Edge support if you use one of the values never, always, origin and default, while the Referrer-Policy header is still in development for Edge.

Using the header form will be more efficient on HTTP/2 due to HPACK reducing it to roughly one byte.

Using the meta tag is typically easier to deploy.

> While still a work in progress, Referrer Policy is now supported by all major browsers (except Internet Explorer, although it is supported by Edge, the new browser in Windows 10).

This information is at odds with Microsoft’s own status on the feature (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platfor...) which indicates that Edge does not yet support it (“in development”), and the cited source http://caniuse.com/referrer-policy which also says IE and Edge don’t support it, but that they do support an older, more restricted version of the spec.

I was about to joke that they were loading each word from a CDN, but the word count would only account for 609 requests.
