    It means "mate".

    Your site looks clean. Buttons and graphics in review pages look nice. Good luck with it.

    I would get rid of that header. Try using a header thats more colorful. As it is now, I think there is too much white with the white header.

    That's a good site. I am trying to build something similar but in a subdomain name. Did you use an existing script to build this?

    Hey man!
    That's a good site, I would reduce the RED a little bit and maybe make the header a little bigger (I believe this was covered already) :)

    Hey there.

    Let's take a look under the hood.

    Home page:

    W3C Validator tells me: 15 errors

    DOCTYPE is XHTML 1.0 Transitional

    Check them here -> http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://hosting.reviewsgurus.com/

    Google Page Speed score is only 69/100.

    Suggestions from Google:

    
    Combine external JavaScript
    Leverage browser caching
    Optimize images
    Parallelize downloads across hostnames
    Serve static content from a cookieless domain
    Specify image dimensions
    Combine images into CSS sprites
    Avoid document.write
    Minify CSS
    Minimize DNS lookups
    Prefer asynchronous resources
    Remove unused CSS
    Use efficient CSS selectors
    Enable compression
    Minify JavaScript
    Minimize redirects
    Put CSS in the document head
    Remove query strings from static resources
    Specify a Vary: Accept-Encoding header
    Specify a cache validator
    
    Code (markup):
    NOTE: Some scripts (CSS/JS) can't get optimized because they are coming from Google or Facebook.

    Try to combine all external/internal JS into one file and put CSS in head and JS at the bottom. Fix your HTML errors.

    there is no attribute disabled for a tags. Get rid of tables and use CSS only. Missing alt tags for img tags.
    Use ID's only ONCE per page (e.g. ArticleCaption... this ID is 4 times in the code).

    There is a lot to optimize/correct to boost loading speed and get better search results in search engines.

    Search engines are watching for code errors and fast loading sites...!

    Anyone else telling the opposite is definitely wrong!

    If you want more info... PM me

    @Googl We didn't use any script, this is a custom built solution developed using .Net Framework 4.0 :)

    Thanks so much everyone for the great feedback, and thanks CSM for the detailed advises - pretty useful.

    I know it's been a while sine I posted this, but since then we've been busy at work enhancing the system and reviewing webhosts. We have launched a new version introducing the GuruScore (TM), where you can easily and visually spot out the good, the bad, and the ugly hosts.

    We have now more than 40 web hosts reviewed carefully in our labs, and hundreds of user reviews for more than 160 hots :)

    I look forward for your feedback again :)

    Thanks,
    Nabil Orfali
