The count includes what a browser loads when the home page is opened: no clicks, no consent, and no login. A service counts once, even when it is loaded from several domains of the same company. Analytics run by a provider on its own domain are not counted. The same page may load more or fewer services depending on the visitor's country, for example where it must ask for consent first.
