Performance
Why a file from disk is faster — then measure it, logged out, same URL.
These two lessons explain the TTFB / LCP win for anonymous page
views: Tivlo serves a file from wp-content/tivlo-static/ and WordPress
can stop cooking. Logged-in editors still see live WordPress. CSS, JS,
uploads, forms, admin, REST, AJAX, and carts stay dynamic.
You are not making the editor faster. You are making the guest faster. That is a kinder goal.
The comparison lesson uses the same demo URL, logged out, before
files exist and after a Full Rebuild with X-Tivlo-Static: hit. The docs
do not invent Lighthouse scores — the recording shows whatever the demo
site measures.
Why static HTML is faster
Skip the PHP bootstrap for anonymous GET/HEAD — what still stays dynamic.
Lighthouse before and after
Same URL, same device preset: live WordPress vs a static hit.
