99/100 page speed on mobile

99/100 Lighthouse, you can (test it yourself).

The setting for this speed:

• No google analytics. If you have GA code, it'll be slower, ~ 88/100. If you use Litespeed cache, it's back to 99/100.
• No cache plugin installed on demo site, at hosting & site level.
• No CDN or smart reroute needed

Basically, if your site has no plugins to make it slow, no tracking code like GA, It'll be 9x/100. No guarantee, but it's likeky.
