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.
