Improve load time/reduce requests
x3ro opened this issue · comments
Current load time is kind of horrible with around 1.25s. Maybe that can be improved upon.
- Don't use polyfill.io?
- Merge and minify JavaScript
- jQuery accounts for 50% of the sites payload. Do we really need it? Is there a lightweight alternative (we basically "only" need AJAX stuff I guess)
- When loading with JavaScript, truncate the GitHub API response to the data we need before passing on. Currently everything is being piped, plus the rendered content.
jQuery alternative doesn't seem a worthwhile investment right now, especially with gzip.
