Careful refactors leave room to push scores back up if something slips later. If your site feels slow, fragile, or overdue a refresh, this is the work I take on. Tight HTML, lean CSS, sensible TypeScript, and static site setups that stay fast. #CoreWebVitals #frontend #a11y #11ty

So the new design and code structure landed with zero Core Web Vitals impact. Chuffed with that. Reminder: you do not need to trash performance to improve the visual layer. Centralised data, macros, and includes keep layouts flexible and maintainable.

If your site has picked up layers of scripts and toggles over the years and now feels heavier than it should, I help with this. Refactors that improve maintainability and design without sacrificing performance.
December 16, 2025 at 6:27 PM
Why it matters:
• The entry file stays a small router for features
• Optional UI stays out of the critical path
• Core Web Vitals stay stable after design and structural changes
December 16, 2025 at 6:27 PM
Main changes:
• Feature based dynamic imports for mobile nav and form helpers
• Dropped duplicate analytics scripts
• Analytics loads after the important parts of the page are ready

After the visual refresh and refactor, I split the JS into smaller chunks and trimmed third party scripts. Now:
• 6 fewer requests
• Around 17 KB less JS overall
• Mobile: 99 perf, 100 a11y, 100 best practice, 100 SEO
• Desktop: 100 perf, 100 a11y, 100 best practice, 100 SEO

Refactor HTML, CSS, JS, and Eleventy setups. Keep performance and accessibility in view. Make the site easier to maintain. Make it nicer to use.

If your site has grown messy after years of tweaks, or it feels slow and fragile every time you touch the front end, this is the sort of work I do.
December 16, 2025 at 6:26 PM
Trade offs this round:
• Homepage payload up 4 KB
• DOM nodes up 8
Not buzzing about it. Performance work stays on the list.
December 16, 2025 at 6:26 PM
Goals for the refactor:
• Keep it fast and accessible
• Make layout changes easier to ship
• Cleaner, more consistent look
December 16, 2025 at 6:26 PM
Next step on the JS side: dynamic imports, so pages only load what they need. Eleventy got a boost too. More central data files, shared macros, and includes to cut repetition.
December 16, 2025 at 6:26 PM
New milestone for Crayons and Code. After months of small sessions, I shipped a new visual theme plus a refactor. PR stats: +2429 / −1953 lines, HTML cleaned up, CSS restructured and rewritten, TypeScript updated.
