Routes leave traces.
We map the quiet ones.

The sampler makes one uncached request back to this station. It reports browser-to-origin timing only, without cookies, account data or third-party analytics.

03 / Method
A route is a moving agreement.
Networks choose paths through policy, capacity and geography. The shortest line on a map is only a reference. Congestion, peering and maintenance decide the route a packet actually takes.
- 01
Observe the request at the edge.
- 02
Compare timing across repeated samples.
- 03
Interpret changes as signals, not certainty.
