When did they introduce that? It certainly isn't as obviously marketed
as at Luton.


Paid Fast Track at STN seems to have been introduced in 2011:

FWIW, it features prominently on the Stansted airport front page:
http://www.stanstedairport.com/


That's hardly a useful marketing tool IMHO.

Just how many people visit the website of the airport that they are
flying from?

1% 2%, less!



You're right, airports shouldn't have websites. Don't know why they
bother.


I said nothing of the sort

they are obviously useful for the few (percent) that do visit them

And some of these useful visits will be by people who haven't yet decided to
fly (to check which airlines fly to their chosen destination)

But I would bet that most people who have a booked ticket from a particular
airport as part of a package, don't go anywhere near the airport web site.
