This release has been focused on performance improvements of all kinds. Improvements include an average reduction of data transferred per page by up to 43%, removal of JS libraries, and reworking of critical CSS. It includes:

  • Lot's of work on removing reflow on page load
  • Refactoring of the mailchimp validation JS. This removed a duplicate version of JQuery, saving a good chunk of JS parsing.
  • Reoptimisation of images
  • Switch lazy loading from a library to the browser
  • Move external CSS which was not gziped or minified to the internal project
  • Removal of fallback google tag manager stuff
