Hey, I'm the main author of this. Happy to see that people like it!

As I wrote elsewhere in the comments we're planning to redesign the results page and rewrite all the text later this year. The current page hasn't changed much since mid-2016. Need to refresh/expand technical advice, be more clear about the limitations of the service, etc. I'll note down all suggestions here.

I'd also like recommend a similar project that was inspired by Webbkoll: https://privacyscore.org/ -- it's slower, but also integrates things like testssl.sh, and most importantly lets you make lists of URLs to check. It uses OpenWPM [0] which has been used for many interesting studies,[1] such as "Online Tracking: A 1-million-site Measurement and Analysis".[2] (Webbkoll uses Phoenix+Puppeteer)

Great tool. But if you'd have a list of top 10 checked sites at the top, say by sum of all three counters, it could actually bring some action, no one would like to be in this shame list.
Thanks for making this - I like to think that my blog is at least privacy conscious, but there are tips on here that I didn't know about.

Will definitely be doing a few updates this week.

Thank you for your time and effort making this!
Good tool, inspired me to fix up my homepage a bit since a few broken pieces got me downrated (though legitimate hits).
