Pingdom tests from Washington D.C., run on Sunday, October 11, 2026 and posted after the run. All three sites graded A. These reports first lived on the /speed/ page; they also appear in this blog's Speed Reports Archive. The grades and verdicts are the record. The raw figures from that day sit behind the » chevrons, because they describe the setup of that day and cannot be re-measured after the fact.
Network grade: 87 / 100
Re-graded October 14, 2026, performance only, across all six sites.
What earns it: Every site green on the audit scorecard: The Studio at zero broken links with all images hosted at home, E2's homepage cut from 2,158 KB to 538 KB, share tags on every homepage, and a clean Inspector pass on Llama Chat. Since then: the E2 and Llamagram carves landed, so all six sites ship from their own slim repos, and E2's full link census (4,969 URLs checked live) found 267 real broken links and fixed 203 of them.
What holds it back: 54 E2 links still point at pages that live only on The Studio's site or nowhere at all, Clear Recipe's formal census at its quality gate is still outstanding, the LlamaChat Inspector has not had a clean full run since October 13 (transport-limited, zero real failures), and one Studio hero image sits at 129 KB over the 100 KB line at its quality floor.
