Summary

The Site Sonar browser extension is a tool for benchmarking on-page ad performance as you browse. Use the performance tool to profile your own website or the executive dashboard to see how much memory ads take up in your everyday browsing. After logging benchmarks on ad assets, Site Sonar sends your benchmark data to our servers where it is aggregated for public display (visit site-sonar.com/dashboard).

Site Sonar is a project aimed at public benefit through a pragmatic approach to identifying the good and bad players in Ad Publishing on the internet. We believe that the Open Web should mean equal access; something that can be reached through crowd sourced praise and accountability. As such, we also care about your privacy and will never attempt to personally identify you. That said, Site Sonar must collect a subset of your browsing data to do its job (unless you opt out), so be sure to check out our privacy policy.
