Five for five on Lighthouse

· 1 minute read

I ran Lighthouse against this site and it comes back perfect in every category it measures: 100s across the board, and 2/2 on the new agentic browsing checks.

Lighthouse against the live site, mobile emulation. Four categories at 100, and both agentic-browsing checks passing.

No single trick gets you there. It’s mostly about what the site doesn’t do: no tracking scripts, no web fonts, no client-side JavaScript except on pages that actually need it. The heaviest thing here is the chart library on one post, and it only loads when you scroll to it.

The two that took actual work: accessibility needed the muted text darkened to meet WCAG contrast ratios, and markdown tables rebuilt so screen readers keep the header associations. Agentic browsing, the newest category, checks whether AI agents can read and navigate the site. Semantic HTML, a sitemap, a full RSS feed, and real server-rendered pages turn out to be exactly what agents want too.

The same five dimensions as a radar. A perfect run fills the pentagon.

A static site generator, plain HTML, and restraint. That’s the whole recipe.
