A complete PageSpeed Insights Tutorial for achieving maximum performance on your site.
I accidentally became somewhat of an expert on PageSpeed Insights on my quest to find a the FASTEST platform (site generator + theme) for web sites for my next couple of side projects which will be targeting organic google search traffic as an acquisition channel. So I thought I would share that information with everyone.
If this is not something you would like to see on my channel let me know in the comments. Thanks!
