optimizations

Optimizations matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around keeping sites fast and proving optimization work, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: Performance issues are hard to connect to business impact and hard to explain to clients. The entry wedge is to identify slow assets or configuration risks and package before/after improvements into reports.
