These are pretty amazing performance numbers. Did you account for all the bloat instagram has in the form of tracking and the likes? (I assume you didn't implement tracking in their magnitude)

Tracking shouldn't affect performance numbers much. The main problems Instagram seems to have is a) they don't server rendered HTML (so nothing shows until the client JavaScript is ready) and b) they don't use a service worker so the repeat visit scores aren't as good.
