Lol the irony of this. Very slow TTFB from Australia.. over 1 second

The blog is already behind Cloudflare, and this page is static content, why don't you just add a rule to cache the page?

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the author created https://justsketch.me/, which sponsors http://reference.sketchdaily.net/

I found these to be great resources for drawing exercises.

Not sure, but might be using a free plan, as many do. It would only load from a hot cache in your region on subsequent hits and have other such limitations to make it affordable.
