I just ran a website I administer and I've been waiting for a few minutes for results. How long should it take? When I hover over the rolling progress bar icons, a tooltip reads "Coming soon..." and I don't know if that means my results are coming soon or the feature is coming soon.

A few minutes is definitely too long. Should be more like 30 seconds.

Try refreshing the page or searching for the URL again.

What URL were you querying?

Email me if you still have problems (jrosoff AT yottaa.com)

7 minutes and counting for me.

It looks like the site is having issues with load. My first click of the link gave me a giant wall of text, which looked like the result of badly crafted HTML + a dropped CSS request.

Other pages have serious Flash of Unstyled Content issues, as well the "render everything, then collapse everything with jQuery" issue that you never notice in dev, but everybody on the internet sees every page load.
