      <description>&lt;p&gt;I recently launched CalcFree (calcfree.online) — a &lt;br&gt;
free calculator website with 25+ tools for health, &lt;br&gt;
finance, and math.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here are the results after launch:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Performance: 93/100&lt;br&gt;
Accessibility: 94/100&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Best Practices: 100/100&lt;br&gt;
SEO: 100/100&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here is what helped achieve these scores:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pure HTML/CSS/JS — No frameworks, no WordPress.&lt;br&gt;
Just clean semantic code. Loads in under 1 second.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;All calculations run locally — No API calls, no &lt;br&gt;
server requests for calculations. JavaScript handles &lt;br&gt;
everything in the browser.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Proper semantic HTML — h1, h2, nav, main, footer &lt;br&gt;
elements used correctly. Helped both accessibility &lt;br&gt;
and SEO.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meta tags from day one — title, description, &lt;br&gt;
og:tags, schema markup all set up before launch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;robots.txt and sitemap.xml — Submitted to Google &lt;br&gt;
Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools on day one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The site: &lt;a href="https://calcfree.online" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://calcfree.online&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Has anyone else built pure HTML tools sites? &lt;br&gt;
What was your experience with SEO?&lt;/p&gt;
