That's right, I'm exaggerating. At current rates I'll hit that limit at 7.5MM pageviews/month.

I've also paid for extra builds once or twice in the past (automatically charges a few dollars when you cross the build time limit), and I pay them $9/mo for analytics.

Are you happy with their analytics? I have no experience with website analytics but I find their offering a bit too minimalistic. I wish for the following features:

- Break down page views into unique visiters for all views (per site, per country etc.). (or some other comparison between those).

- Don't lose the history after 30 days.

- Export to .xlsx

Agreed, they're extremely mediocre, but worth $9 to me. Seems like they have better analytics available at a "custom" price, which I assume would be quite expensive. For my use case, minimal analytics at a minimal price works fine.

Free unlimited scale does exist though. Cloudflare has no bandwidth limit for free plans, and it pairs well with App Engine.

How much is 1MM? I'm unfamiliar with that suffix.

1 million

M == thousand

M does happen to be the Roman numeral for “thousand” — as seen in the credits of old movies. But let’s not go there.

k = thousand, M = million, G = billion

There is actually a standard for this. I'm fine with MM, it's confusing to me but not ambiguous, just please don't reassign existing prefixes...

This is a false-cognate in MM.

MM means millions, plural of M which means million.

Source? Every source I've seen says that MM is derived from the Roman numeral M, meaning thousand.

Wouldn't that make MM 2,000, the same way II is 2 and XX is 20?

It would be if it was interpreted as an actual Roman number. But in this case it's treated as M x M.

The actual Roman version of a million is an M with a bar over it, where the bar means x1000. But that's not an ordinary character, so wouldn't work for this purpose.
