remove active-users endpoint to reduce Vercel costs#230
Merged
Conversation
The /api/active-users serverless function was the primary driver of Vercel function invocation costs, being polled every 20s by every visitor. Remove the endpoint entirely and the associated client-side fetch/UI. The turing games stat is now always shown instead of conditionally swapping with the active users count. https://claude.ai/code/session_01UGfnsFfXcafbYbt2TuFUVq

/api/active-usersserverless function was invoked on every homepage visit (polling every 20s), generating thousands of Vercel function invocations per day — it also fabricated user counts when the real number was below 400getActiveUserCountclient function, and all related state/polling/UI fromHomeHero, so the "turing games played" stat is now always shown
