Welcome to my personal website.

Another step in the right direction

My website has taken yet another step in the right direction being optimised further, which further reduces the size of the site.

Currently, the largest page on the site is 1.6MB, which is a large page for a mobile phone user to view, but apparently spot on the average page size according to this website. Having said that, my largest page is actually my photo gallery, which is not exactly something I imagine mobile users to be using everyday.

My front homepage comes in at just 795KB and my About me page comes in at 728KB.

Most of this saving comes from gZip being applied to everything on the site, minified CSS and JS, compressed images, much less HTTP requests and less third party linked tools.
