Source replaced, price unchanged. https://grafana.com/products/cloud/k6/ answers 301 and lands on https://grafana.com/products/cloud/performance-load-testing-k6/ — the same page at the address the site now uses. The figure is unchanged and still stands on the day it was read; only the link the reader follows is corrected, so it no longer bounces through a redirect. Same host, same scheme, and the destination keeps every distinguishing word of the page's own name.

This standing as a plaque
Grafana k6 Cloud currently holds a platinum deskmark here — Rank 1 of 8 · Load Testing. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Grafana k6 Cloud moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
