#75You guys mention < 25ms as the performance hit of having you guys in front of the client's application. Is there a more concrete SLA you guys provide? Do you have a sense of what that hit might cost in page rank (there's some theories out there that time to first byte is one of the features that search engines reward)?

#77I consult with startups and tech companies (recently: SurveyMonkey) on SEO, so this is super-interesting... especially the automated aspect, which is pretty novel in this space. What are some of the specific types of automated tests that you run?
Here's a case study with a simple example of a test: https://www.rankscience.com/coderwall-seo-split-test * CTR on titles/meta descriptions * Any HTML changes * Design changes * Time on site
E.g., in the CoderWall example, is it propagating of the title tag change to all the pages in the test group that's "automated"?
At least to my ears, "automated" suggests that there are tests that are selected and run completely without human intervention. (Which is hard to imagine in the SEO space.) Is that in any way accurate?

Thanks for the reply. Would you mind being more specific about what specific aspects of the "automated" tests are "automated"?
