After going to the end of a long post, I'm disappointed to not find any latency or throughput efficiency metrics. Author seems to claim he has a very popular high-traffic blog and it is super fast, faster than all the popular web servers serving static pages. Where's the performance data to prove this?

edit: web.dev measure gave this blog post url a performance score of 30/100 which is quite poor.

Ripping out cloudflare made the metrics slower. I wrote this post before I ripped out cloudflare and it was accurate at the time of writing. It will be better once I can re-engineer things to be anycasted.

web.dev seems to give it a poor score primarily because of the YouTube embed … so perhaps Google should heed its own advice?
