As a web dev myself, I wanted to add to that that Google’s Page Speed insights are sometimes a little misleading or at least have to be interpreted and taken with a grain of salt. Sure, a site / web app might be marked as slow because certain thresholds aren’t met, without the user even noticing that the app is “slow”.
As an example, apps which load in lots of third party content. As a user, you would expect them to have this slight delay when opening and will be fine with it without perceiving it as slow.
It’s really more important for marketing websites because google will rank your page worse when it perceives the page as slow.
Oh, so the results aren't meant for web apps like Wefwef. Speaking of Google's ranking, so does it mean when Wefwef needs monetization/ads in the future, the PageSpeed results will impact Wefwef's ability to promote itself or be monetized, if Google AdSense considers user experience when deciding ad revenue?
Late reply, but this is the exact reason why products as Wefwef usually do have dedicated and optimised marketing websites :)
