One I can think of is a marathon, family/friends could see how you're doing.

A small thing but remove the striped background and use a solid colour instead

Thanks! We are working on the landing page right now. I appreciate the feedback.

This looks great. I'm 19 now, but would have killed for something like this when I was at school.

I could move on Chrome by clicking where I wanted to walk

Seems fine for me, took 4 seconds to fully load.

I ask because wired.com pages consistently take 20-30 seconds for me. Ping is on the order of 60 ms just now. Just curious about what makes it so slow for me.

Taking a brief look at the article's source, it looks like wired uses a huge number of javascript includes. These vary from word press plugins, to tracking analytics, to even a konami code robot.

This, along with the image heavy layout and the fully expanded comments section can probably account for your load times.

That's odd. I haven't noticed any slowness (and I've loaded the OP several times today).

Single click edit has been added to Chrome dev tools

Much appreciated thank you.

Pretyy excited about this, Lovefilm is a terrible website with a crappy library.

Doesn't have 29th on there? That was the official move date

I'm not crazy about this site either, they seem to have selected the dates they graphed very carefully:

I agree with many other comments though, this is a poor metric for measuring how many people left GoDaddy.
