Performance is a Feature
Performance as a feature one small blog at a time.
I spent last evening making the necessary tweaks to this site to get a perfect 100% score on Google’s Pagespeed Insights.

Which is why when Aaron Gustafson tweeted this posts headline, it caught my eye.

The context was more broad and I believe directed towards larger sites, but it has to start somewhere.
Also, I plan on sharing how I implemented the changes to get to 100%, specifically the critical CSS.
