Here you'll find GTmetrix reports for the Top 1,000 sites on
the internet according to Google, updated weekly with full history.
* Google did not list google.com and youtube.com in their
Top 1,000 list; they are included at the bottom of our table. Also, a few of
the sites failed to analyze, so it's really the top 975. We're working on it!
We collect a lot of data at GTmetrix - so we were really interested to
see how the Top 1,000 sites perform with regards to speed
and optimization standards.
Our friends over at Zoompf.com released a State of the Web - 2010
document describing how efficient (or inefficient) the top 1,000 were.
We did something similar, except as an infographic!
Using three basic optimization techniques, it was very
suprising to see the amount of bloat we're downloading. If we can
imagine the top 1,000 as representative of the entire internet, there is a
lot of unnecessary downloading going on!
Our infographic is meant to be a tongue-in-cheek, simplified generalization
of our findings, but hopefully it will open some eyes, while providing some
laughs!
