"Yo ahoyo" would be "I drown" in Spanish. That's not a showstopper, but it does make me curious about the story behind the choice of the Ahoyo name.

You're thinking of "ahogo". "Ahoyo" doesn't have a meaning but "hoyo" does and it means hole.

Ahoyo does have a meaning. It's a conjugation of the (not commonly used) verb ahoyar https://dle.rae.es/ahoyar

#14These 1-page example pages are pretty heavy: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=...
17 on Page Speed Insights. Lots of background scripts or something?

#15My website is a single page, HTML only (no trackers or cookies), very little CSS and JS. "responsive" without any media queries and only a few images.
It's completely free to host on Netlify.
I don't market it heavily and I don't know how much traffic it gets - and I don't care. I completely own it and it does its job.
Why would I pass this off to some company?

#16No custom domains support?
Seriously. I can't imagine a business entity that needs a high-conversion landing page, but can tolerate not owning a domain for it. If my therapist's page (from their examples) was ahoyo.to/amazing-therapy, I'd probably start looking for a new one.
It works for Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, the only difference is a few billion users.

#17Is this the same thing as about.me? I signed up for that 10? years ago when I saw it on hacker news [1]. And that was apparently just a clone of flavors.me Are these just sites that ask you to enter a ton of personal data so they can sell it? Or are people benefiting from this? More than a LinkedIn or Twitter or Instagram or wix or Google site or free hosted WordPress or medium? I had an idea for a site sellmyinfo.co…
Oh come on. It takes 30s to read trough their website and feature list to see that no, this has absolutely nothing to do with about.me. It’s mostly for business.

Because you don’t know HTML, CSS, And you want SEO and analytics.
I’d guess the target is not the usual HN demographic.

You have a spelling mistake in “consultation”.

Well, nobody uses these sites but they try to get a larger user base, probably in the hope of later monetization. You can't blame them for that, maybe one of them someday becomes popular.
