alt Hacker NewsNot accurate.
It has nsa.gov on the leaderboard as having no US dependencies.
It wrongly says one of my sites is using Cloudflare.
It says that one of my sites that is hosted in the US (no CDN, US IP address) has no US dependencies.
it treats social media links the same way was embeds.
it gives gov.uk a perfect score. Maybe by design because it is hosted in Europe, but if so it should not say its EU sovereignty.
I do not think that is the case because it also gives a perfect score to https://english.www.gov.cn/
I do not know how it got to the HN front page - people presumably vote it up without checking it actually works.
Its just not anywhere near accurate.

This is more of an attempt at a political stunt. The CCP's website gets a perfect score, admin.ch also gets a perfect score while Switzerland is most-definitely not in the EU.. non-US is more accurate than EU but you only see that when stars start flying.
IMHO: Just scrap the politics and show what regional deps a site has - that'd actually increase value quite a bit.
Yeah it's a neat idea. Unfortunately the execution is pretty poor.
