My timing was perfect, saw the site, saw the noise bug, read the comments, checked again and it’s fixed (on iPhone at least)

Just revamped mine at the weekend and now much happier with it. Trying to better split out my research from public engagement and other miscellanea.

Unfortunately, to show the Earth and the orbital positions to scale, it was not possible to show the pieces of debris to scale.

Author here,

The debris is coloured to match the descriptive text.

Each years data is loaded when the user gets to that part of the visualisation.

The ring you see is indeed all of the satellites in geosynchronous orbit. You can also see the orbits of many of the GNSS satellites in medium Earth orbit if you stare hard enough for long enough!

This shows all objects (functioning and debris) in orbit at the time in question.

He gave a great talk on this at the HNLondon meetup in September 2013, he was a really engaging speaker as I recall.
