Performance
(Somewhat important)
The page response time of 0.70 seconds is longer than the recommended limit of 0.4 seconds. A high response time unnecessarily slows down search engine crawling and results in bad user experience as well.
A Content Delivery Network like Bootstrap CDN can save bandwidth for Bootstrap front-end component library.
