Score: 6.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 5, Documentation: 5, Utility: 7)

Fake-Fast Detector is a web performance auditing tool that analyzes URLs to detect deceptive optimization patterns like cache header manipulation, cookie bombs, and lazy-loading critical images. It's interesting because it specifically targets 'performance dark patterns' and PSI (PageSpeed Insights) gaming, providing developers with transparency about real vs. perceived speed.

Target audience: frontend devs, backend devs, devops
