This is probably related: wikirotes.info loads map tiles from tile.openstreetmap.org. If you serve millions of customers please use your own hosting for the tile files (or a third party provider). https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/ https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/ "OpenStreetMap data is free for everyone to use. Our tile servers are not."
> I'd be grateful if you could share the name of your hosting provider, your site's URL, and its monthly traffic.
I know several high-traffic map tile providers (5000 requests per second per server) who use Hetzner.
- Alex_wikiroutes 3y agothanx you for your hosting recommendation. Our website, wikiroutes.info, utilizes various map layers for different countries, and in our mobile version (90% visits), maps are disabled by default to optimize user experience. Our crowdsource editors often require access to the freshest layers from multiple sources for comparison purposes. It's important to note that the audiences of OpenStreetMap (OSM) and wikiroutes.info partially overlap, and by using OSM, we inadvertently promote their service as well. While we appreciate your concern about our use of OpenStreetMap's tile servers, we've never received complaints about this practice before. It's worth noting that our project brings significant social impact to the community, akin to the contributions of OpenStreetMap.
