This site is hosted by Vercel Inc. (USA), with functions in the Frankfurt region (fra1).

Analytics
We use Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights (Vercel Inc., USA) to see which pages are visited and how fast they load. Both work without cookies and do not follow you across other sites. Web Analytics counts page views with the page, referrer, browser, operating system, device type and country, and tells visits apart only through a hash of the request that is discarded after 24 hours. Speed Insights measures loading performance (Core Web Vitals). We only see aggregated figures, never individual visitors.

Providing the data is voluntary, but without it we cannot answer.
