I can confirm that the performance of a site generated with RW8 is better than the exact same site generated with RW7. In the screenshot below the top site was generated with RW7 - the bottom site was the exact same (I opened it the file using RW8 and then published to a slightly different URL).

The tool I use, by the way, is Google’s Lighthouse, which has audits for performance, accessibility, and more. You can find out more here: [Overview &nbsp;|&nbsp; Lighthouse &nbsp;|&nbsp; Chrome for Developers](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/)

That is awesome – but I’m liking this tool, I didn’t know anything about it. Going to go learn now. Seems like a great tool for developers!
