Comment (by irl):

 I've done a little work on the homepage to make it clearer right from
 landing on the website what it is that Tor Metrics is about, with a link
 to the about page. I've also added links at the bottom for relay search
 and exonerator, which could help to show that Tor Metrics isn't just the
 graphs.

 Demo at: https://people.torproject.org/~irl/metrics/

 I plan to write further text into the About page including some diagrams
 of flow of data collection (relays/dirauths/onionperf -> collector ->
 onionoo/statistics) and safety of data collection (minimisation, source
 aggregation, transparency and linking to research safety board).
