Earlier quoted context omitted.

Seriously. I can't imagine a business entity that needs a high-conversion landing page, but can tolerate not owning a domain for it. If my therapist's page (from their examples) was ahoyo.to/amazing-therapy, I'd probably start looking for a new one.

It works for Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, the only difference is a few billion users.

tis but a scratch

These 1-page example pages are pretty heavy: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=... 17 on Page Speed Insights. Lots of background scripts or something?

And using PNG as their image format and not doing any kind of text compression. That’s the most basic thing in serving websites and they are not doing it.

WebP could be a good option.

My website is a single page, HTML only (no trackers or cookies), very little CSS and JS. "responsive" without any media queries and only a few images. It's completely free to host on Netlify. I don't market it heavily and I don't know how much traffic it gets - and I don't care. I completely own it and it does its job. Why would I pass this off to some company?

It's not the hosting that is sold. I think I would pay for the design, can't be bothered with selecting pictures aligning text "just so". This is get from zero to something, in 3 minutes, you can't do that with Netlify.
