Show HN: I made a tool that compares your GA stats to the industry standard

To promote my startup, I made a free tool that compares your Google Analytics stats to the industry standard's stats that have been pulled from a whole bunch of sources. Let me know what you guys think!

Hmm, my numbers looked a lot better than expected.

Flaws:

My site makes no money and doesn't attempt to. Why do I have to put in transaction amounts?

Many of the images are not loading. High load to blame?

Under Important Insights > Page Speed the circle graph thing is really jacked up (Firefox 33.0, Windows 7).

Important Insights > Bounce Rate. In the graphic it claims that the industry average is 75%. In the text it claims 49%. That's a big difference.

Browser Variety. In text it claims 1 browser version, then it lists several under that. Seems odd.

Hey thanks for the feedback!

I've removed the images from the "thank you" page before the report is generated.

The transaction amounts are mostly because the average client is an earning site, guess it doesn't make sense for everyone, I will consider removing those.

Just double check in Firefox and the graphs seem to display correctly. Maybe it was an issue that corrected itself.

Also just checked the stats and I am showing 49% industry average in both text and graphic. The top graphic is your stat and the white graphic is the industry standard. I could probably make that better known.

Browser version number is definitely an issue. Looking into that now. thanks!

Re: the illustration on your home page:

The last thing I want is to get a series of mobile notifications saying that my app isn't converting well. It just becomes another thing to dismiss over and over again. This illustration/animation scares me away from trying your product.

Apreciate the feedback, I hadn't thought of that. Any ideas that would make alerting more appealing?
