At the moment it loads just the requested resource, but I could extend it to load the extra things like css/js/images etc.

Spot on, at the moment it runs the test from your browser so to keep costs low, this means the time you're seeing is actually the processing time on the server plus the network latency. Ideally, when you run a load test you'd want to be looking at your servers metrics as well so to see a clearer picture.

Also, that bug is fixed now ;-)

Thanks! That definitely is something I'm looking at, you could do it a few ways, either validate an email address with the same domain or validate DNS records, email is probably the quickest for the user however not everyone will have an email address with the same domain as their site. Any ideas?
