My personal/hobby business web site ( https://www.rlvision.com ) is based on code 22 years ago. It's built with tables, because that's how you did things back then. The age shows.

100 points on pagespeed is not that hard with static sites. - drop 99% of the JS (PWA, lazy-loading, infinite scroll, jquery, you don't need any of them for a webpage), convert the remaining for 1% to vanilla js and use it as progressive enhancement. - use EM or % as layout width/height - inline css, js, and svg EDIT - no webfonts!
