Broken "init benchmark" images on small and fast page

[ferrybig]

When visiting the "small and fast" page you see the text "init benchmark" repeated 12 times, instead of loading images

URL for broken page

https://git-scm.com/about/small-and-fast

Problem

These images are pointing towards a 404 page at https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?... instead of a valid url

Operating system and browser

Firefox 130 on Arch Linux

Steps to reproduce

1. Open https://git-scm.com/about/small-and-fast
2. Observe the 12 broken images
3. Open the console to see 404 errors for the broken images

I can confirm that it is broken.

As per this ticket, it would appear that Git's home page is relying on a Google API that was deprecated 12 years ago and apparently now has entered the Google Graveyard.

One option to fix this would be to switch to Mermaid diagrams.

And for the record, I had to go back even further to get all of the diagrams:

Oh, and I just noticed that this is a duplicate report of #1862. Let's continue the discussion over there.
