The page is a pre-built file served straight from Cloudflare's network. No server runs, no database is queried — which is why it's fast, cheap and hard to knock over.

Why it's built this way
Static where possible, serverless where not
- Everything public is pre-built, so most visits never touch a server.
- Dynamic features are small Lambda functions that cost nothing when idle.
- Every call to a paid model is rate-limited and capped.
- Anything private sits behind a login that's checked twice.
