Standards
Performance isn't a feature.
It's a requirement.
Every page on this site scores 100 on Performance, Best Practices, and SEO — and 96 on Accessibility (I'm actively working on that last 4 points). This isn't because I chase scores. It's because I refuse to ship what doesn't earn its weight.

What This Means
Lighthouse is Google's open-source tool for auditing web pages. It grades sites from 0–100 across four categories. A perfect score means the page loads fast, works for users with disabilities, follows modern web standards, and is discoverable by search engines. This doesn't happen by accident — it's the result of deliberate architectural choices.
How It's Built
Zero-JS Baseline
Every page ships functional HTML and CSS before any JavaScript loads. React components are Astro islands — hydrated only when the user actually needs interactivity. No JavaScript framework is loaded for static content.
Optimized Assets
All images are automatically converted to AVIF and WebP formats at build time. Only the smallest appropriate format is served to each browser. No unused fonts, no oversized images.
Minimal Bundle
No analytics scripts, no tracking pixels, no third-party widgets unless explicitly disclosed. Every byte of JavaScript is audited before it ships. The theme toggle is inline — not a framework component.
Semantic HTML
Correct landmark elements, proper heading hierarchy, and meaningful ARIA attributes throughout. This isn't just good for accessibility — it helps browsers parse and render the page faster.
Verify it yourself.
Run the page through Google's PageSpeed Insights. It's the same engine as Lighthouse — and it's free.
