/1 @lmessenger pointed me to a PageSpeed analysis of my blog and provided some great pointers on speeding up my static site I'll share below:

These changes dropped average time to interact from ~4.5s to ~1.5s, a massive improvement in UX.

2/ The first change was to implement browser caching of static files following this guide:
digitalocean.com/community/tuto…
Simply adding the block in my NGINX conf file and adding a line to each server block gave a huge increase in load speed to repeat visitors/assets shared by pages.

3/ The second was to enable GZIP but use server-side pre-compression following this guide:

See the following portion of my post on how I built sethsimmons.me for how I do the pre-compression:

f/ All of these changes made an already snappy site even faster and decreased load and network usage for both client and server, all with a few line changes.
