- Saving the measurements in a logfile
- Due to security limitations on the internet it is impossible for me
to write anything to your harddisk. And a good thing, too, or the
internet would be even less secure than it is today. I could save
the measurements on the server and make some kind of download button,
but according to my estimates a single week's worth of measurements
would eat up more than 60 megabyte! So I've done the next best thing
by storing the last 25 measurements in a cookie. There's no more room
due to cookie limitations. Sorry! You will have
to save the measurements by transcribing them, or something.
- Adding more countries
- I would love to add more countries. For the measurement to properly
measure the speed in a country I need a top-100
of the most visited websites by users in that country. A top-50 will
do in a pinch, but there are always some sites that cannot be measured,
such as websites that have image protection, don't show a logo, are
non-commercial and don't appreciate the measurement traffic, or are
totally Flash-driven.
Other lists will not do. For example, lists of popular websites,
interesting websites, voted websites, counted websites (WebTrends,
Hitbox, NedStat, etc.), or click-through websites (searchengines,
banners) do not represent the bulk of the internet traffic.
It really must be a list of most visited websites by users in that country.
- A better graph
- I've tried lot's of different graphs, all kinds
of different ways of presenting the results. If you have visited this website
in the past you will have seen them. In my view the current graphs are
the best possible compromise between the technical possible, space on the
screen, details visible, easily understood, and general usefulness.
What can I say, I've done my best.
