This site’s own data

Each night a pipeline collects this site’s Cloudflare analytics and its GitHub activity, models them with dbt in DuckDB, and tests them before anything here is published.

Data through (UTC days). 152 of 152 tests passed.

Reading this site

Since launch on 10 October 2026, clients naming a browser asked for 2,359 pages, and 140 browsers downloaded the site’s font.

Browser page views per day. A view counts when a client that names a browser in its user agent asks for a page in the sitemap. Some automated tools pose as browsers, so this is an upper bound on reading.

Browsers that downloaded the site’s font. Every page loads it and a browser keeps it for 30 days, so each download is close to one browser arriving for the first time that month. This is the better count of people.

Who else reads it

Page requests from anything that isn’t a person’s browser, by week, Monday to Sunday. Crawlers are named from what their user agent says, which anyone can fake. The latest complete week is 12 to 18 October 2026.

Scans for software this site doesn’t run

This site is static HTML. These requests look for WordPress, PHP, hidden files and admin pages, hoping to find something to break into.

Pages, by month

Pages are counted for whole calendar months, once each month has ended and its last days have been read again. A page is named only when Cloudflare certainly saw at least 5 views of it from browsers that month; the views shown are Cloudflare’s estimates. October 2026 closes for counting on 4 November 2026.

Countries, by month

A country is named only when Cloudflare certainly saw at least 10 page views from browsers there, on at least 3 different days of the month; every other country is counted as Other. The views shown are Cloudflare’s estimates, and include the few views of pages outside the sitemap. October 2026 closes for counting on 4 November 2026.

Building the site

In the complete weeks since launch, 55 commits reached the main branch, 82% of them co-authored with Claude Code. Merges and the nightly data commits are not counted.

The pipeline

A Python collector writes each day’s totals as JSON in the site’s repository. dbt reads those files into DuckDB, models them in three layers and runs 152 tests, 3 of them unit tests of the publishing rules. Each mart is published either here or on Sleep Anchor’s website in numbers, which uses the same pipeline.

How these numbers are made

Cloudflare serves this site and counts every request it handles. Each night the collector copies the previous day’s totals, reduced as the privacy page describes: no IP addresses, no full user agents, no referrers and no query strings are kept. A user agent becomes a class and a name from a fixed list, and a page outside the sitemap is counted only as other.

Cloudflare counts some requests from a sample and scales the totals up, so small numbers can move a little. The thresholds for naming a page or a country count only the views Cloudflare certainly saw, never its scaled-up estimate. The collector reads each day on three nights in a row as Cloudflare fills in late data, which is why monthly breakdowns wait until the 4th of the next month.

A failed test stops the nightly update, so the page keeps the last numbers that passed. GitHub activity comes from GitHub’s API: commits, pull requests and CI runs, with no commit messages, names or branch names.
