Hello, @leecalcote. I saw the website speed test score, and yeah, it is not that great.
To fix this, we can add .htaccess for caching purposes, resolving the first issue of Add expire header. But it will be great if you do it or assign this task to someone who has worked on this website. Cause if anything gets messed up, then the whole website will face issues.
Since I am new to this project, I don't have that much information; otherwise, I would have done that. :)
For the optimization part, I can convert images to webp, which will significantly help the site perform better. If it is okay for you, then you can assign this task to me.
Also, I have one more suggestion to add lazy loading and gatsby-images. It will also help the make the website quite fast.
@sahilsuman933, we don't use Apache as a web server, but use GitHub Pages.
Can I go ahead with optimizing the images for the site?? Using Gatsby to convert it to webp as it default on supported browsers and a fall back to jpg on unsupported ones.

@Nikhil-Ladha, do you think that we need to breakout individual tasks here?
Good question. Maybe or maybe not, considering we already have another issue #2172 which tracks the performance of the site this might not be required. But, since this issue tracks a completely different tool I think we are good to keep this issue open and make the enhancements suggested by it. I see the score is much better now at 81, but a few more enhancements could be made and some of them are similar to lighthouse.

@Aaditya-Singh78 That's great. There are so many issues pointed out by the Analyzer. You can go ahead and choose any of them to work on. But first, go through the open pull requests and see if any of these suggestions by the analyzer have been currently worked on before picking an issue.

@sahilsuman933 we're still doing poorly on performance. See this web.dev performance report - https://web.dev/measure/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwxIOXBhCrARIsAL1QFCZ_abOHFnIqOpNgeY0S8fmG8G1iKX1wW2F0-UR8RL5L9BM6JtkReuwaAuXmEALw_wcB&url=https%3A%2F%2Flayer5.io
Will you look at actions that can be taken to improve speed?
