How is this an AJAX password checker?

I didn't see any XHR or even an iframe being used. This is a Javascript password checker, nothing more.

And not a very good one, password1 scores a reasonably high score. What about checking for common words? Dictionary based words?

leet letter substitution, for example p4ssw0rd1 is rated as very strong but would be cracked in minutes (most brute force programs now offer automatic letter substitution on dictionary words)

Seems that it just does a basic, how long is it, does it have numbers, special characters, different case? Come on, is that really it!?!?

I wouldn't use this if it was free, never mind pay $9 for it.
