Increase page load performance #7

Closed gfairchild closed 4 years ago

gfairchild commented 5 years ago

I just ran my website (based on the latest aafu theme) through Google's PageSpeed Insights page (here are my results) and noticed that it looks like a few things could be improved. Specifically, there are some Render-Blocking Resources that are identified that might be able to be modified using the defer or async attributes, among other things.

Have you by chance looked at improving page load performance by implementing any of these suggestions?

The https://github.com/darshanbaral/aafu/commit/4e353c33dacfa7f0acc4406c857ca9daae750daf serves bootstrap locally instead of CDN and that seems to have improved speed for the demo. For further improvements, font awesome and academicons could be served locally too but it's already pretty fast.

Yeah, I know it's already super fast, but I just figured that there are likely a few small adjustments that can be made to make it even faster!
