Lookery supports millions of daily users worldwide across thousands of publishers every day. We know our publishers care a lot about how quickly their pages load — we certainly do.
To minimize latency and eliminate page load delays, we take great care that any code that Lookery asks publishers and partners to put on their sites, blogs, etc is very lightweight and speedy.
Part of our process is to actively and very closely monitor and benchmark ourselves (and others) using third party performance monitoring services. For monitoring our response times we’ve been using Pingdom for the past few months. Pingdom monitors our servers and infrastructure 24/7, all year long.
You can view Pingdom’s public report card for Lookery here, and Google Analytics here.

Yes, according to Pingdom, Lookery on average is 65% faster than Google Analytics!
This makes all of us at Lookery very happy for all sorts of reasons — most of all because our hard work is paying off and resulting in us providing world class performance to all our publishers 24/7/365. More good stuff to come, stay tuned!
