Your Sentry JS script is brutalizing your first contentful paint times, which directly impacts bounce rate. Death to blocking external resources. If you inline, it will reduce what is likely your median FCP by nearly a full second and probably get you passing Core Web Vitals.
Before (FCP 2.1s): https://www.webpagetest.org/video/view.php?tests=220208_AiDc...
After (FCP 1.3s): https://www.webpagetest.org/video/view.php?tests=220208_AiDc...
(Also, you're loading a Google Fonts CSS file and then not using Open Sans. Also also, your fonts.gstatic.com preconnect wouldn't work even if you did use the font – you'll need `crossorigin`. See: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-fonts-3/#font-fetching-requirement...)

That's both good shouts. Pretty funny someone spotted this in two days. Introduced it recently and it's scheduled for removal today.
Thanks!

We should collaborate! I've also been building a job board but for the north american market mostly. I have an engine that scrapes and organizes job listings automatically. I haven't worked on it in months but it's still going strong scraping and archiving. It also has a backend to subscribe, apply, save, sort listings & companies etc, has a few minor things to finish up otherwise it fully works. Let me know how to contact you if you wanna chat. I haven't quite had the motivation to launch/do anything with it.

Interesting, thanks. I'm only focusing on Europe / Remote and will reach out if I come up with something.

Cool. Mine is only for remote jobs and has worldwide listings. Sounds good.

Which sites do you scrape from?

WWR/RemoteOK but its pretty trivial to add new sources. I was using those for development with the purpose of adding a couple more right before launch.

Nope, almost all of it is directly from companies.

Thanks!
On the other hand, it's not quite so passive. I constantly work on it, because I really enjoy working on it. Be it sales, marketing, SEO, building it - love it.
This is also my way of putting the work in to progress my career. I'm learning a lot; experimenting with tools and languages that I want - although I keep it to a bare minimum.
