Making the API shields.io-compatible

The possibility of making the WebBS score a badge recently arose. Sadly, this can not be done due to the API being undocumented and timing out. These problems can be solved by documenting the API and caching the response serverside for some time, does it make sense for me to implement that and pull request it?

Unable to calculate score for t0.vc

For some reason it's unable to calculate the score for https://t0.vc

It says "Problem occurred while processing requested website." Is it because I have invalid HTML?

Simulate browsing.

I think that the rating will be more pertinent if we can simulate a browsing scheme using three or four pages.

An example with a forum :

• Myforum.com/forum/
• Myforum.com/forum/viewforum?id=123
• Myforum.com/forum/viewtopic?id=456

Some files like backgrounds, menu images, scripts are downloaded and cached by the browser in the first page and reused with the others.

Site which reuse elements deserve to have better score and those which not reuse elements deserved a bad score.

Unable to calculate bloat score for some websites

This seems to be very similar to issue #1

Some websites web bloat calculation fails with the following error.
Problem occurred while processing requested website.
Tested with-

• https://codingotaku.com
• https://exeami.com
• https://thebestmotherfucking.website
• https://www.webbloatscore.com

cnn, w3, and google sites seems to be working fine.
