In effect, -this is a tool that enables a developer to assess the quality of their website -based on some important metrics (a11y, performance) and some not so important -ones (like the dreaded SEO). I don't like using Google-related tools very much, -but out of curiosity I did decide to check how my site was doing. - -Accessibility and (_shudder_) SEO were great, but to my surprise, the -performance score was a disastrous 54 out of 100. To make matters worse, -Lighthouse had calculated that my home page took on average **7 seconds** to -load! - -This is really bad, especially since it was literally just a couple of pictures -and some text, so I checked what its recommendations were and followed them. I -managed to get the score up to around 70 or 80, but still the website felt -really sluggish. - -It was at this point that I came to the realisation that my efforts to optimise -the site in its current form were pointless, as the whole design was very -bloated (with lots of images everywhere). - -Thankfully, I had come across some new communities at the time which helped -provide inspiration for a new design! - -### Smolnet, gopher and tildes - -If you've read my previous posts, you'll know that I am a member of SDF, a -public access Unix system.
