The CTA here is interesting. It feels like they put the weighing process on a delay timer to convince you to enter your email address to get the report "when your report is ready".

@ypcrumble No lying here. We process the page as fast as possible.
We do about 2 dozen passes on each image to see how we can best optimize it. Doing that for an entire site can take a few seconds.

@kellysutton didn't realize you were doing more than just "weighing" the size of the images. I said it was interesting because I'm not sure it would be lying. You're providing a free service. It doesn't seem necessarily wrong for people to wait for slower service if they don't want to provide you their email. On the flip side they pay for better service by giving you their email address and not having to wait!
