Build Stats

Data warehouse? No, it’s for sugar; this is from the Beigang Sugar Factory.

Every production build of this site is logged with duration, page count, and output size. The first chart below displays build duration on a log scale with a 14-day rolling median line to even out some of the variability in build times. The second chart displays page count on a linear scale, but data has only been collected for that since May 6th, 2026. Several significant upgrades are noted in the chart; the new Rust-based Markdown/MDX compiler Sätteri has been instrumental in bringing build times way down.

Note: these charts do not include the most recent build as data is logged after the build is complete. Read more about the tech stack this project runs on or check out the source code.

Alexander Synaptic
Curator, Spectral Codex

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
