Requests are the separate files a browser must fetch to show one page.
Every image, font, script and stylesheet is a request. Each one takes a round trip to a server. Many small requests can be slower than one big file.
A busy WordPress page can make 150 or more requests. Most come from plugins and the theme, not from your content.
One measured rebuild, a Houston printer, dropped from 176 requests to 16. Same words, same photos, far fewer trips.
Page weight is the total size of everything a page downloads, measured in kilobytes or megabytes.
Lighthouse is Google's free tool that scores a page from 0 to 100 on performance, accessibility, best practices and SEO.
A plugin is an add-on that gives WordPress a feature it does not have on its own, like a form or a gallery.
A single-file HTML page keeps its words, styling and layout in one file that any browser can open.
