We were able to get some pretty great scores. This theme also supports next-gen image formats (avif and webp). The image conversion will happen automatically. You can upload JPEG or PNG images, and Ghost will automatically convert multiple image sizes in avif and webp format. The theme will then load these images depending on the browser. If a browser does not support avif format, the theme will use webp image as a fallback.

Using avif or webp images considerably reduces the image size. Please see the below snapshot about the considerable improvement in image size.

Please note that the performance of the website also depends on the server you choose for hosting.

For fully managed hosting, I suggest the CREATOR plan of the official Ghost Pro Hosting.

The performance also depends on the 3rd party scripts you include for analytics, payment gateway and more.
