Request timeline
Context
The European Commission is the EU’s executive body: it initiates legislation, manages the budget, and oversees the implementation of treaties. Governed by Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. It is also the creator and operator of webtools.europa.eu — the centralized infrastructure used by most EU institutions. HAR: 123 requests, 5 domains, 2 pages.
All domains — europa.eu
The session’s five domains: commission.europa.eu, webtools.europa.eu, ec.europa.eu, europa.eu, and cdn.eaec.fpfis.tech.ec.europa.eu. All are europa.eu subdomains. Not a single external request, not a single Set-Cookie response.
The Inter font on webtools — solving the problem
EBA, ERC, EDA, and other institutions load their fonts from Google Fonts. The European Commission loads Inter Variable (InterVariable.woff2) directly from webtools.europa.eu/fonts/inter/. This means the Commission — as webtools’ operator — has hosted the font on its own infrastructure. Other institutions could use the same path — and some already do (EEAS loads fonts via webtools, not Google).
ec.europa.eu/wel/surveys — an embedded survey system
The Commission uses its own web-survey system (ec.europa.eu/wel/surveys). Three survey configurations load on every page open: an AI survey, EU updates, and an EC online survey. The system allows surveys to be shown to visitors — with the data staying within the Commission’s infrastructure.
cdn.eaec.fpfis.tech.ec.europa.eu
cdn.eaec.fpfis.tech.ec.europa.eu — a CDN for the EU’s computing infrastructure (FPFIS: Federation Platform for Public Interest Services). Loads eas.js, an accessibility component. An ec.europa.eu subdomain, data on EU infrastructure.
The Commission as the webtools benchmark
The European Commission uses the most complete set of webtools components in the series: the EC theme (not the generic EU theme), the global banner, the etrans translation tool, sbkm bookmarks, previews, Search 2.0, social-media icons. All of this is the EU’s own infrastructure. And the Inter font is served from webtools, not Google.
Conclusion
123 requests, 5 domains — all europa.eu. The Commission, which created webtools, uses it exemplarily. Hosting the Inter font on webtools instead of Google Fonts is an architectural choice EBA, ERC, EDA, and others should replicate. Zero external dependencies.
How to verify: download the file and compute its checksum — sha256sum file.har (Linux, macOS) or certutil -hashfile file.har SHA256 (Windows); it must match the one shown. The conclusions apply to the scope of this measurement — see the limitations of the method.
