I have no idea if this has any performance benefits, but it sounds like a cool idea:

Serve our static files using a self-made "CDN" (honestly just a file server). It combination with this, it might be really interesting to write our own reverse proxy that handles routing between the blog & this cdn. Food for thought.

I have this idea where any linked content in my blog posts can be cached in a custom file server that I wrote. This would make my blog independent from any other sites in terms of being available, and the "file server" could manage updating the content if it changes on the original site, but it will always be served from my own servers.
