Our website, which runs ad tracking, gsap, live chat, and more get’s green pretty much across the board in those links you provided"
That wasn’t my point - and no they’re most certainly not green across the board unless you’re looking at the little blocks at the top lol. Look at your actual metrics and measurements. I don’t care if your scores look good on lighthouse on a speedy connection w/ all the modern web dev tricks to make metrics happy - which by the way you rmobile scores are quite **bleep** and moble is the real test. Desktop is not even remotely difficult to get good scores on.
I care about the poor practices prevalent, poor waterfall, missing optimizations, and again many accessibility problems as these are the things that show lacking thought processes. And again, yes, your scores are actually lacking in terms of pure numbers under any real stress test. The reason they degrade so quickly under this stress is due to the optimizations missing.
Per my other comment - you can make any website performant by loading strategies. But, that’s merely perceived performance on tools giving metrics. I can defer the loading of tens of megabytes of JavaScript and get perfect scores - but that’s not “performant”.
If there are any content creators who can’t use HubSpot’s “text editors”
See @Anton later point on the questions he gets - which I and literally every other dev in existence gets weekly - Tersely, most people are just not tech savvy I wouldn’t go as far as saying “stupid”, intelligence is very relative, but there are clearly lacking critical thinking skills here. A lot of people simply can’t cope with anything tech much less managing a website or it’s content effectively. IIt’s our wheelhouse not theirs. get what you’re trying to get at - via module enapsulation, styling, theming, etc if it was setup “right” - but you’re missing hte point with this.
