Web Performance Testing

3 minutes read - 524 words

Web Performance is good (and can be fun) An example Lighthouse score: I have a growing interest in web performance. I get joy out of using web performance tools and hopefully getting a good score on the pages I work on. It is a little like working to get a gold star and then see your website perform out in the big world! Performance matters on a big scale and small scale - Core Web Vitals is a ranking factor for Google SEO.

Paring down with AMP

One minute read - 177 words

morganwebdev.com This is a post about my experience of simplifying my personal website down to an AMP page. My philosophy was incremental improvement using the validator and lighthouse test audits as guides. Additionally I added basic service worker functionality with the amp-install-serviceworker tag. The result is an excellent lighthouse score and a pretty excellent WebPageTest score on Core Web Vitals: I followed a number of steps to achieve this namely size bounding and inlining CSS and using the excellent Super Tiny Icons Repository

I am using the Cactus Theme on Github with just a few modifications. I really like a bunch of things about Hugo.

GitHub Mentoring

Over the course of 2020 and 2021 thus far I have mentored seven up and coming software developers from several communities: Bellingham Codes, Tech404 and Linkedin. I mentored them to optimize their GitHub account for prospective employers/recruiters/OSS opportunities. I spent 20-40mins over Zoom with each of them and learned a lot myself about what it is like getting started in the industry today. As of writing this, I am aware that one person has landed a job and one has advanced in interview stages aided by their GitHub.
