The parts of a provider page Summary: how many locations and countries the list names, whether it marks virtual locations, and what the measurements show. At a glance: price per month in the initial term and afterward, refund period, devices, website trackers, company seat, owner, and features the pricing page names. Points in favor, against, and worth knowing: sentences generated from the data by fixed rules. Prices: every plan as the pricing page states it, with the country it was requested from and the date. Who is behind it: company, seat, owner, audits, each with its source. Its own website: which other companies the home page loads. Locations: every country in the list, with the virtual marker, the network, and the measurement status. Questions about the provider: short answers built from the same figures.
