There is a chance fine-tuning web performance to these levels might soon become irrelevant for quite a few websites as people shift from search engines to LLMs/agents and possibly don't even land on those sites at all...

Yes the shift is happening. I have heard about seo for llms (llm.txt, etc ) never tried though 😅

These are not bad tips, but this is only good if you're a dev building something for your self.
If you're at a company and the marketing team wants to add googel analytics, hotjar, fullstory, klaviyo etc etc etc.... you just never get to have 100 on performance.

Generally an 80+ is good enough, as long as your page renders in under 2 seconds.
Focus on that.

Well done, core web vitals are really important. You would be surprised how many startup websites have poor vitals.

I always forget to add descriptive link text. I also never convert my images to webp (which I really need to start doing!)
