Very strangely, I found out that my efforts did not really result in improvements:

Very, very strange.
So, performance plunged from initial 33 to 21, then up to 25 and then 28.
Crazy.
I mean, at 6:32 PM, I had already removed many elements, so it is very strange.
I dunno. Maybe, I have work to do or I need to use a CDN service or something--
Very, very strange, I am 'in over my head' as this is not my area of expertise, though I am learning.
I have a gut feeling, I have improved things because the homepage was minimalized.
