Pagespeed gives this man's site a 72: https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-rickconlee-com/foj44r38dv?form_factor=mobile https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-rickconlee-com/foj4... And my plain ol' wordpress an 83: https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/http-egypt-urnash-com/a1rmypl838?form_factor=mobile https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/http-egypt-urnash-com/a1r... My site's a WP that I started up in like 2012 and it's been running continuously ever since, it's sitting behind Apache, it's got a cache plugin, nothing special at all.

Shoemakers kids have holes in their shoes. In my heyday of freelance work my website was always the last priority. The freelance work I was doing kept me so busy I had no time to spit shine my own site. This is a Wordpress site, pagespeed is 96 https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-www-storwell-com/wnlf4xev6v?form_factor=mobile https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-www-storwell-com/wn...

While the site is using a CDN (Cloudflare), pages are not cached ("cf-cache-status: DYNAMIC"). Sometimes this actually makes the site slower to load as we're going <-> cloudflare <-> server instead of directly to the server.

I can recommend the WP Super Cache plugin[0] - it can generate pre-gzipped static sites and then you can setup your webserver[1] to prefer those, or non-compressed static files and only when not in cache actually bother passing down the request into PHP. Gives me an 97 and 88 respectively[2] on that pagespeed tool.

Never heard of pagespeed before (yeah, lucky 10k etc, but also I'm just not a web dev) and this pointed up some huge easy wins on my image heavy homelab site, so thanks for that (setting `Cache-control` at all, and forcing `img loading="lazy"`.) To shortcut some obvious followups: (a) the pagespeed engine is called "lighthouse" and it's on github (Apache licensed)(b) it's also built in to Chrome DevTools (inspect) but for me it was all the way over on the » section of the toolbar. So you can run it locally on a private/staging site. again, thanks!
