Your stats are wholly incomplete compared to Fathom, lack any kind of GUI, graphs, or date-based filters. I think the comparison in speed is like comparing an apple to an elephant :)

Yeah I'm lacking a ton of stuff. No GUI, nothing in fact. But the tracker I've implemented (not into prod yet) does get under 90ms globally.
Your service, which I've seen is serverless, is actually pretty fast compared to other services and for that I have to admire your work. However, as I've done some response time testing on Postman (https://twitter.com/notsuryad/status/1199201916850278400?s=2...) I've found that my service is getting right next to Google Analytics' response times.
I'll release more details about how I've conducted this soon, but I hope the best for Fathom (I've used Fathom self hosted before but ran into some issues).

Keep pushing man. We're getting between 300ms - 600ms response from your endpoint (from a single datacenter) but I wish you luck with hitting under 90ms average.

Actually addressed that on the website. Currently I'm getting an average of 1 second globally which is super slow. I'm going to migrate to the faster branch soon, which wouldn't be much of a problem, but am going to release a bunch of stuff alongside it.
Finally, yes, I'm planning to utilize a variety of shuffling and hashing techniques to anonymize users, data, and all other aspects. At the moment, I'm focusing on getting under 90ms on average globally (which I have achieved, just not implemented into the master branch yet)... which is over 4.5x faster than Fathom's average of 420ms globally. More coming soon! Fill out if interested: https://forms.gle/BZA7thD878PbKnSs8.
