perf: LCP optimization - avatar, async CSS, deferred scripts#29
Merged
Conversation
Resize avatar.jpeg from 1536x2048 to 300x300 (appropriate for 110px display size with retina support). This is the LCP element and was causing 4.4s LCP times. Expected LCP improvement: 500-700ms
- Load Font Awesome CSS async via media="print" trick to prevent render blocking (expected: -400-600ms LCP) - Defer lunr.js search scripts to avoid blocking initial render (expected: -300-400ms LCP) - Add preconnect hints for cdn.jsdelivr.net, disqus.com, and googletagmanager.com to reduce connection latency (expected: -100-200ms) Combined with avatar optimization, total expected LCP improvement: ~1,300-1,900ms (from 4.4s to ~2.5-3.1s)
