This lesson is a method, not a trophy. Themes, hosts, and third-party scripts still exist. We compare the same URL with and without a static file so you can see what Tivlo changed.
What this video covers
- Preparing a small demo WordPress site (theme, a few published pages)
- Before: serving off or no static files — Lighthouse on the live URL
- After: Full Rebuild,
X-Tivlo-Static: hit, same URL, same device preset - Reading Performance, LCP, and TTFB — not inventing a score in the docs
Key takeaways
Always test logged out in a private window. Compare the same URL with and without a static file. Scores depend on the theme and host; the lesson is the method, not a promised number. If you test while logged in, you will “prove” Tivlo does nothing. That proof is a costume.
