The "Use a CDN" messages all disappear with a config file setting
stating that fp.o _is_ a CDN.

Setting up better expiry times on /static/ and /web/static/ should be
low-hanging fruit.

Adding compression should be low-hanging fruit, but will increase the
CPU needed on the app/proxy servers.

CSS at top, and javascript at the bottom, I can't say, having not
looked at the pages in question.  May be easy.

Rest are opportunistic I'd say.
