Excellent post, looking for more articles like this from Hashnode team One concern though, 4 servers are enough for a CDN? Are you getting <100ms all around the world? I've used a similar technique to speed up WordPress too - https://1secblog.com/caching-html-pages-at-the-edge-using-cloudflare/
I've analyzed many such websites. Yes, even popular websites like Google, YT, FB doesn't score well. The reason is they don't care about it For example, Facebook doesn't need any improvement in SEO. They're already in the first position, nothing more to optimize! In the case of performance, and other variables, it's possible to achieve 100%. But you'll need to remove some functionalities For example, in my case (in my website), I can remove Hotjar and some 3rd party scripts to achieve 100%. But for me, those are more important than what Google says
You could configure it the server. Before that, you need to know which web server you use. It can be nodejs, nginx, apache etc But instead of doing that in your server, I would suggest giving that work to Cloudflare. They'll take care of it. They also use brotli (better than gzip) whenever possible
I recently wrote a blog post on Optimizing Google Fonts in WordPress . Rank Math suggested me to add numbers and power keywords. So I renamed it to " Load Google Fonts 5x Faster in WordPress " That "5x" did the trick! It was a purely random number. But that post got featured in Hacker News
There are a couple of reason to host on 3rd party sites CDN - low latency Horizontal scaling - One single server won't be enough to hold all images On the go optimization - You don't have to optimize images Less load to your server For my product, our servers output is 99% json. Rest is handled by 3rd party services like these. We use Cloudinary, Netlify, Google Cloud Storage, Google CDN, etc
If it's a static website go for Netlify. They'll enable CDN for every resource, including the HTML pages, minify HTML/JSS/CSS. Also, try Cloudflare. It's one of the best CDN out there.
