An info badge next to rps would be nice, I'm trying to guess what r is. Rows? Records? Requests?

It's requests per second, and I briefly described that on https://postgres.saneengineer.com/about

Small badges will be helpful, though. I added hovers in some places, like for latency numbers, but I think more visible badges will work better, thanks!

Is requests the same as queries? Maybe this is an AWS thing and that's why I don't get it.

I have a 80GB database serving 10 queries per second on a $8 VPS. It depends on the query though.
