phpBB and Wordpress are websites engines. It doesn’t take into account the content of the websites they are serving, and more importantly the bloated advertising scripts that might be added to the sources.

Memory usage, FPS, Cumulative Layout Shift, First Input Delay, Largest Contentful Paint, any data gathered from the performance API. There are tons of efficient way to measure a website’s efficiency.
Finally, a website can fail to load for many reasons. First of which can be a 504 Bad Gateway Timeout, which is an event based on an arbitrary value on the server’s side.
Hard to tell honestly.
