Websites change over time -- they'd have to download a static copy of the websites and store them locally for repeatable tests (but then it no longer reflects the real world, since websites often tailor themselves for each user).
And since browsing activity changes over time too, they'd have to regularly update the test, which means that tests are not comparable over time.
- pfranz 10y agoI don't think that's unreasonable to address. For CPU and GPU benchmarks they often run BenchMark2014 so you can see improvements compared to previous years and BenchMark2017 to see the latest and greatest because hardware architecture, game engine design, and graphics APIs change. You just need to figure out how best to present that to the user.
