#473 Public pages are never cached; measure Core Web Vitals

[Anonymous]

Originally created by: athanclark

Every page, including public timeline and event pages seen signed out, is sent with cache-control: private, no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate. So each visit and crawl renders the page again. From one location the first byte took about 0.4 s for /, /explore and a timeline page.

Core Web Vitals weren't measured. Wanted:

1. Measure with PageSpeed Insights or Lighthouse: LCP, INP and CLS on the landing page, Explore, a timeline and an event page.
2. Consider caching signed-out views of public timeline and event pages briefly, through nginx or s-maxage with revalidation. Changes should clear or expire the cache quickly. Pages that differ by session must not be cached.
