Just ran my site - https://signalprocessingjobs.com https://signalprocessingjobs.com - through pagespeed and it looks great. I run my site with hugo + netlify for $0. I find the web tech world to be so unreasonably convoluted and bloated. it boggles my brain why wordpress is considered "easy" and some sort of de-facto standard. It barely makes any sense to me. It seems like some sort of 2005-2013 tech that you glue together with other 2005-2013 era tech and scaffolding. Wondering if others feel the same or if my lack of web-dev skills makes it seem like that?
