What Largest Contentful Paint measures, and the image, caching, script and font changes that move it the most on a WordPress site.
Point a cPanel subdomain through Cloudflare: which DNS records to proxy, which must stay DNS-only, the SSL mode to pick, and how to read the common errors.
Two NGINX nodes sharing one virtual IP through Keepalived's VRRP: the upstream, TLS and health-check configuration, a tracked check script, unicast peers, and how to prove failover works before you rely on it.
Why a network-wide VPN is the wrong trust boundary, and how to replace it with an identity-aware proxy for web apps and narrowly scoped WireGuard tunnels for everything else, with configs, firewall rules and key rotation.
Where tunnel overhead actually comes from: header bytes worked out from first principles, MTU and MSS arithmetic, and the TCP-over-TCP and head-of-line effects that cost far more latency than the bytes do.
How ngrok, Cloudflare Tunnel and a self-hosted SSH reverse tunnel each put a local service on a public URL, what each one trusts, and the settings that keep a webhook test from becoming an open door.
