yastatic.net
yastatic.net is a hostname that serves static files: scripts, fonts, stylesheets and images that a page pulls in while it renders. This index holds no vendor record for it, no category and no tracking classification, so what follows describes where it was seen rather than who runs it. The company it keeps answers that question more clearly than any label would. It was contacted on 64 of the snapshot's 5,294 sites, 1.2% of them, which is 62nd by number of sites among the 88 companies here.
Yandex Metrica on 62 of its 64 sites
Of the 64 sites that contacted yastatic.net, 62 also contacted Yandex Metrica, which is 96.9% of them. yandex.com followed on 49 sites (76.6%) and yandex.net on 24 (37.5%). Almost nothing else reaches double figures apart from mail.ru on 20 and yadro.ru on 16. Google was present on 25 of the 64, a minority, and sits third on this hostname's co-presence list behind two Yandex entries. This is a single-ecosystem hostname, and the measurement shows it plainly.
Nine of 64 sites carried a banner the crawl could name
The crawl identified a consent tool on 9 of the 64 sites, and on all 9 it registered as an IAB TCF consent tool. Not one of the twelve example sites recorded here carried a banner the crawl could classify. That is the defining characteristic of this set: it is not that a different consent product dominates, it is that the products this crawl knows how to recognise are largely absent from these pages. Consent requirements differ by jurisdiction and by audience, and this index measures what was on the page rather than what was owed.
Sixty sites with early contact, and two clear exceptions
60 sites, 93.8% of them, recorded early contact. The median site contacted 5 companies inside it and none after it closed. The exceptions are visible in the example set: dzen.ru and cdnvideo.ru each contacted 7 companies with not one of them inside the window, the first request leaving at 2,744 ms and 3,486 ms, the latest in this example set.
Light pages, mid-pack timing
The median site here contacted 6 companies, 75th of 88 in this index and toward the light end, carried 1 tracker, 56th of 88, and issued 41 requests, 49th of 88. First contact on the median site landed at 669 ms, 42nd of 88 counting down from the slowest, so squarely mid-table. The earliest first contact on any of its 64 sites was 169 ms; in the example set yandex.net came closest at 222 ms, with ya.ru at 251 ms.
The example sites
They are the properties you would expect from the co-presence figures: yandex.ru, yandex.com, yandex.net, yandex.kz, ya.ru, dzen.ru, rutube.ru, ok.ru, rambler.ru, nic.ru, cdnvideo.ru and yastatic.net itself. The heaviest in this example set is ok.ru with 11 companies contacted, 7 of them inside the consent window, followed by rambler.ru with 10 and 7. The lightest in it are yandex.net, yandex.com and ya.ru, each contacting 3 companies, all inside the window.
Reading a hostname with no catalogue entry
An entity like this one is where an index of measured requests is more useful than a list of known vendors, because the request was recorded whether or not anyone had classified the domain in advance. What it cannot supply is intent: co-presence with Yandex Metrica on 62 sites establishes where the hostname appears, not what any request to it carries.
