Yahoo!’s Nicole Sullivan analyzed the political candidates’ official web sites comparing performance for each using ySlow: #
In honor of Super Tuesday, we thought it would be fun to take a poke at the Presidential Candidates web sites and share with you what we found. #How did they do? Overall, atrociously, all the candidates failed the YSlow exam except Mike Gravel who earned a “D”. Page weight was a problem for Barack Obama, whose site weighed in at almost 700Kb. It was even worse for Mitt Romney, whose site weighed a whopping 1,531Kb. I hope he doesn’t have supporters trying to make contributions on dialup modems! #
#Turns out that Huckabee is faster and lighter than Romney. Clinton makes too many requests. And Obama needs to expose more above the fold. #
