Still trying to hit that elusive 100 on PageSpeed Insights?

I was too.

I spent far longer than I'd like to admit stuck in the high 80s and low 90s on a real client project. I tried everything the internet recommends—compressing images, minifying JavaScript, lazy loading, removing unused CSS—and yet the score barely moved.

Mobile was the real challenge. That's where Lighthouse seems determined to humble you.

Eventually we got there on waxedoc.com, a waxing studio website I built with Astro.
