@i_am_brennan A lot of the core SEO-based features were there from the beginning. But checking mobile, speed-test and security I had not even thought about back then.

@anandthaker Thanks for checking it out. And yes, I *love* writing code, so I try to do spend at least some time, every week, doing that.

@dharmesh Nice! I caught your talk at a conference a few weeks back, I think more CTO's should remain engaged in the realities of writing code... it's so easy to remember all of the easy and forget the hard... leading to unrealistic expectations and a disengaged team.

@andreibuildsstuff Thanks! Credit to the team. I could never create something that beautiful. (I'm a back-end guy).

@dharmesh I know what you mean, most of my time is spent on servers and infra. Great job to the team, the design is appealing the tool works well, and the user onboarding was great. No friction 10/10

@rdbrdd Yup, as part of the update to the tool we added the email requirement to make sure we can send users the custom scorecard we generate based on their results, which is a new feature in this version. To your question, we chose to build on top of Google Lighthouse because of the depth and breadth of information that tool provides. With Website Grader, we’re synthesizing that information into a format that’s easy to understand and act on. We also built a new course in HubSpot Academy that provides education tailored to each score the tool provides.

@evan_freeman I entered my email, and it graded the site, but it never sent me anything :( I even signed up for the course, but still no email.

@rileytomasek Answered this a bit above but will summarize here – we’re essentially taking the great insights available in Google Lighthouse and making them more actionable with straightforward results and complementary educational resources.
