For as-fast-as-possible first time load, use TLS 1.3 + inline CSS + server close to user (with a CDN for global audiences) + not much JS (absolutely no 30kB framework).

For as-fast-as-possible subsequent page loads, use preloading (à la instant.page) + light SPA. My previous library, InstantClick, did just that but it’s alas mostly just a proof of concept (lacks good docs), I intend to “reboot“ it this year and announce it on HN.

FANG websites aren’t a very good site speed standard. :)
