Melanie uses SVG for the header to create the hand, shadows and even the lovely cursive writing for her name.

The performance of the site pretty good with a load time of 3s on a LTE connection however there are a few things which could be done to speed this up even further. That includes

• Concatenating all of the JS files into a single file
• Enabling Gzip compression on the server
• Running on H2 (requires HTTPS as well which is certainly not a bad thing)

There’s also no caching on the site at all at the moment, so any subsequent views of the site requires a full download of everything again. This isn’t so bad for a single page site, however, it’s certainly something that could speed the site up a little. This is also a perfect candidate for Service Workers as well, allowing the site to be viewed in offline conditions as well.

Respond.js is being used on the site as well which I’m not a fan of anymore, I think we’re past the stage where we need to enforce media queries on non media query supporting browsers and just let them fall back to the single tube of content.
