Hi, our Wix.com website performance has not been satisfactory. Pages are slow, sometimes content does not load, the mouse jerks around etc. So I have been preparing to move host, which should go live over the next day. I've been testing the new site and there are a few things to get right that I can't test in advance, and the consequence of misconfiguration is emails get marked as forged. Fingers crossed I can do this correctly, but if you see some weirdness tell me about it at tom@corepox.net and know that its probably just a symptom of the move. Here is our bad google page speed test at the moment. Fingers cross those numbers go up soon! I particularly dislike the input latency slowness, this is Wix using a lot of clientside javascript rendering on the main thread which is causing the jerky pages. Wix has a lot of great features. I love the speed I built the site, and the widgets are gorgeous. However, the site isn't responsive and I can see mobile users are abandoning the site. So reluctantly I have to say goodbye to Wix.

Out of curiosity what technology stack are you using now? Have you rewritten your site to remove it's dependency upon Wix?
Thanks! Wix was a good first pass for understanding what I wanted. Now I am building it properly. I have a reverse proxy setup with Firebase hosting, which merges a managed wordpress install for the blog, and some serverless dyanmic pages that query the game content. I leverage Firebase Hosting's CDN to cache the website pages and serverless pages under a single domain. I will write up this stack properly soon, I just been waiting for a decent enough site to be worth posting the content too! Soon!
See this for what I wanted merged on a single domain:-
