It turns out that&amp;rsquo;s a harder question to answer than I expected, mostly because there isn&amp;rsquo;t really a server to ask. This site is built with Hugo and deployed as a static site on Render, which serves it through Cloudflare. I don&amp;rsquo;t run anything. There&amp;rsquo;s no process I can add metrics to, no access log I can read, no /metrics endpoint.</description></item></channel></rss>
