They do give pointers to the www.time.gov site, and even that site has a disclaimer indicating that it is not exact enough (due to the asymmetric delays mentioned in previous posts) to be used for precision-timing purposes. But yes, if time.gov is the preferred site, one wonders why they bother with the older web clocks--not to mention the long-broken audio link.
