Hi,
I have tested many websites built with Sage on Google Speed Insight and never seen a really good score.
I wonder what it means, if someone has counterexamples and thought on speed optimization for Sage based websites.
Cheers,
Phil

I’ve always managed to get pretty good scores with Roots/Sage. Have you tried using GTMetrix? that might help you identify some areas you can improve and give a little more insight than Google Page Speed on some fronts.
Personally even on shared hosting I’ve found it’s possible to get under a second load times with fairly decent scores and on a VPS running Trellis you should have no issues.
A few pointers would be:
Generally a good idea to use Nginx over Apache if your host offers that.
Remove any Bootstrap components you are not using. More info on that
Dequeue Styles and Scripts you can without issue from plugins to decrease the number of requests and block rendering.
If you’re on shared hosting use a decent caching plugin (my personal favourite right now is WP Fastest Cache)
Someone integrated pagespeed with Trellis which looks awesome, I haven’t tried it yet but I plan to soon.
That’s about all I can think of right now, I hope that helps
EDIT: I thought I’d give an example of a site I’ve recently finished for a client in the last few weeks and they are on shared hosting, and even on shared it was possible to get a decent score.
So what scores have you gotten? This isn’t that helpful without showing us the scores or the areas where you got bad grades.
I found this one with a good desktop score (90) in the showcase section :
And this one for desktop and mobile :
