I put in my site and it gave me a red cross for "Hosting", on hover it said "GitHub Pages". But my site isn't hosted on GitHub Pages.

Expanding "Details", the URL that is hosted on GitHub Pages is... a different website? There's merely a hyperlink to it on my website.

It also says I'm using "self-hosted" fonts - but I don't think I'm doing that at all? I'm just using the browser's fonts. Using non-standard fonts is a bad idea because it causes the content to either be invisible until the font is loaded, or else it initially shows in a fallback font and then the text all jumps when the font is loaded.

It also says my website is hosted on GitHub pages, although it’s served from a hetzner server.

EDIT: on further inspection: I get both a red cross AND a green check mark for hosting. So it’s somehow indicating both GitHub and hetzner. Maybe it’s because I merely link to GitHub?

Fixed. I was matching a link TO GitHub as hosting ON GitHub. Now only embeds and actual hosting count, not href links.

Sorry and thanks for pointing me there.

Thanks for the Bugs Bunny. I'm detecting a LINK to GitHub Pages and marking it as hosting. That's wrong - hosting should only flag when the actual page is served from there.

Re fonts: "self-hosted" means fonts served from your domain (vs Google Fonts CDN). If you're using system fonts, that's a detection error on my end.

Both going in on the fix list. Thanks.

Meanwhile I get a green check for CDN - presumably because I'm not using Cloudflare, but I am using CloudFront which is AWS.

So the tool's a good idea, but currently very inaccurate.

Meanwhile, mine is actually hosted on GH pages and I get a green mark and a perfect 100% score.

Funny, I checked a blog I host on github pages and it says "not detected" for hosting.
