I created a simple portfolio website for my brother, and we worked together to design it to be very straightforward and easy to navigate.
Our main focus was to make the homepage as fast as possible. To achieve this, I followed many of the metrics recommended by Google PageSpeed Insights since the site's score directly affects its SEO ranking.
Although WebP images could have been used to improve site speed, I decided not to use them as they are not fully supported across all browsers. Additionally, I found that some of the images became larger after being converted to WebP compared to the original JPEG files.
However, I plan to implement automated WebP conversion of uploaded media into my Integral CMS project in the future.
Lastly, I chose not to use Critical CSS since the time investment required would be so high to the minor gain in site speed.
