What the map shows

The hero of this site renders a live map of recent visits. Each dot is a coarse location cell, roughly the size of a city, and it appears only after someone has actually loaded the page.

Your own visit is the pulsing marker. Other visitors appear as static dots, so you can tell at a glance which one is you.

What is recorded

• Country — a two-letter country code, used as a fallback position for the dot.
• Region and city — resolved in your own browser from a public geolocation service, then rounded to a city-scale cell.
• Page path — the path you loaded, with any query string removed.
• Timing — when the visit happened and how long the page took to respond.

What is never recorded

• Your IP address. It is not stored, logged, or sent to the map.
• Exact coordinates, an address, or a device identifier. The location is rounded to a city-scale cell before it is stored.
• Cookies, advertising identifiers, or cross-site trackers for this map. It uses no storage and no third-party cookies.
• Referrer hostnames, query strings, or anything identifying you to the telemetry service.

How long it is kept

Detailed city and region information is automatically downgraded to a country-level aggregate after 24 hours, and the underlying records are deleted within 7 days. The map only ever displays activity from the last hour.

Third parties

Location is resolved in your browser by a third-party geolocation service, which receives your IP address in order to answer the request. That service is not operated by this site, and no location data is shared with it beyond the lookup itself.
