TPS Counter: help debunk the "7 tps" myth

Some people like to spread the myth that bitcoin's blockchain can only process 7 transactions per second. example fud:

I made a little webpage to help debunk this myth whenever you see someone say this nonsense:

https://supertestnet.github.io/tps-counter/

For example, today the block with the highest TPS count (so far) is this one which had 7582 transactions in it, which means bitcoin processed about 13 tps (7582 divided by 10 minutes divided by 60 seconds = 7582 / 10 / 60 = 12.6 tps).

Did you just blow up mempool.space?

Seems to be working for me

First time it loaded ton133 or 235, after that nothing. Both on desktop as well as mobile over wifi. Now trying on cell network.

GET https://mempool.space/api/block-height/844562 net::ERR_FAILED 429 (Too Many Requests)

So looks like it's being rate limited.

Works for me. I got:

Average tps in the past 24 hours: 6.56 tps
