I’m checking my pages with Google’s Page Speed Insight regularly. I do believe I had the page speed at 100 for a simple “coming soon” page. Not anymore (and I just changed a button and some text):
I use pretty decent NVME hosting with my german hosting company, so speed shouldn’t be an issue. However, this seems to be the case, even though there is hardly anything running on the website.
Any ideas?

Did you try another speed test engine?
Sometimes you have to run the test multiple times…
In the old days… I used to ‘ping’ the site and see the internet route
Is your site on SSD drives?
I’m on fast NVME-SSD Hosting, which is supposed to be even faster than normal SSD hosting. The google page speed value didn’t change even after I upgraded my hosting.
And yes, I ran the test several times during the last week, at different times. Same result.
Glad it shows at least 91 on pingdom (still bad for a coming soon page with a bit of text, an svg logo and a 46kb webp background image), but it should score good on google’s page speed, since google is the search engine that eventually decides over the ranking of any website in the serps.
The custom font you’ve added is absolutely murdering your load time:
From the report:
sawarabimincho-regular.woff2 → 1,194.9 KB (1.2 MB!)A single font file this big on mobile is always going to set fire to your performance score.
Fix that, fix your score 
Wow, thanks for checking. Didn’t notice the size of that font file. Time too look for a smaller font footprint. And it was even only one weight…
If you want to go super fast, just use the system fonts 
Oh, and do let us know what your page score is after you’ve update the font!
