This is wrong on many levels.
Most people don't need all that complexity and configuration options, especially if you just want it to work.
Asset minification can be done locally, besides the ominous gatekeepers don't give a fuck. I've got a static website with lots of files, just HTML and CSS, not even minified I think, and a dozen lines of JS, and it's a solid 100/100 on Page Speed Insights.

Link headers? There's a HTML tag for that and it's fast enough: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Link_types...
You're just bloating everything up.
