Headless WordPress + Astro: same portfolio, two stacks

100 mobile PageSpeed · 0.8 s LCP · 0 KB JavaScript

I rebuilt my portfolio as a static Astro site that reads its content from WordPress through the REST API, then compared both versions on speed, page weight and editing.

How I built hjmiranda.com and took it from 62 to 98 on PageSpeed

62 → 98 mobile PageSpeed · LCP 7.7 s → 2.1 s

A design system first, a clean Elementor build, custom CSS and JavaScript where the builder stops, real SEO and schema, and LiteSpeed tuning that took mobile PageSpeed from 62 to 98.
