This website leverages a modern technology stack designed for speed, security, and a rich user experience. HSTS ensures secure connections, while Varnish acts as a caching layer to significantly improve performance by serving static content quickly. The front-end is built with Blazor, enabling interactive and dynamic user interfaces using C# instead of JavaScript. Furthermore, the site is implemented as a PWA (Progressive Web App), offering offline capabilities and installability for enhanced user engagement. This combination aims to deliver a fast, secure, and engaging experience for all users.
The chosen stack directly influences the website's key metrics. While the Lighthouse performance score is currently 0.6, the caching provided by Varnish and the efficient rendering of Blazor are designed to improve this over time. A strong SEO score of 0.91 is achieved through semantic HTML and adherence to best practices. The PWA features contribute to a better user experience by providing offline access and a native app-like feel. The focus on security with HSTS builds trust and protects user data. The stack is strategically chosen to balance performance, SEO, and a modern, engaging user experience, though ongoing optimization is needed to further improve the performance score.
