Some remarks:

• Google Page Speed score is 90 (desktop and mobile)
• Spell checked
• Added Google Webmaster (not yet verified)
• Except for photos, there are no images to optimize, so checking that one off too.
• Site follows most best practices of SenSEO
• YSlow is horrible to use.
• No JSLint necessary, as there is no custom JS.
• Checked off all security checks, as the site is static, with no user input except for Disqus.
