HTTP Archive switches to ChromeThe HTTP Archive crawls the world’s top URLs twice each month and records detailed information like the number of HTTP requests, the most popular image formats, and the use of gzip compression. In addition to aggregate stats, the HTTP Archive has the same data for individual websites plus images and video of the site loading. In May 2011, I launched HTTP Archive Mobile. Today, we’re announcing our switch from IE 9 and real iPhones to Chrome and emulated Android as the test agents for HTTP Archive. For purposes of comparison, we’re temporarily maintaining HTTP Archive IE and HTTP Archive iPhone where you can see the data from those test agents up to the current day.
