How I achieved a perfect score with Google Lighthouse
It is far easier to achieve a perfect 10/10/10/10 score in Google Lighthouse for a static site, versus a traditional LAMP stack which requires server-side processing to some degree for each request, or a JAMstack architecture which will traditionally have fast time-to-first-byte (TTFB) and a slower time-to-interactive (TTI).
This is my personal portfolio, somewhere to display my CV, but mostly just something to tack on to the domain I use for my email address. It doesn’t need to be perfectly composed with microservices and or somewhere to flex architecture decisions. A simple static site which is almost free to host is all I need for this.
