    Step 1 - make a website that takes 3 seconds to load a blank page.

    Step 2 - bring it down to 1 second and pat yourself on the back.

      Correct. A web page is fast by default. Everything that is added makes it slower.

        Sure, but some things increase the delay much than others. More static text, for example, is pretty fast. Elaborate JS, not so much.
