So it may be a bit pedantic, but yes, there are styles (pure HTML isn&amp;#x27;t the most pleasant to read) but no external stylesheets.&lt;p&gt;I ran a bunch of tests when setting it up to see what loads faster and it turns out the &amp;lt;style&amp;gt; tag in the head, with such minimal styles outperformed external stylesheets (even though the browser can cache them). With styles so small once the html page is loaded (at 2-5kb gzipped) the styles are immediate, whereas even if retrieving from browser cache the html needs to load first before it can take effect.&lt;p&gt;The second bit with Fathom analytics is that users can optionally connect Fathom to their accounts (this is the only analytics tool you can connect since they have a track record of being trustworthy). But yes, it is technically included JS.</text></comment>
