Firstly - great work! I'm glad you took optimization into consideration.
That being said, a couple of points: why are you loading trash like Google Ads and Analytics, FontAwesome is still being loaded and your profile picture is 228kb that is resized by CSS.

I think you checked the wrong website. I redesigned my portfolio (haideralipunjabi.com), not the blog. I don't have a profile pic there, nor do I load Ads. I am still loading Google Analytics because I haven't used anything else for analytics, what do you suggest?

Yeah, I checked the blog as there was no other link, apologies.

Your portfolio looks much better. Are you really using 10kB of CSS?

I personally use GoAccess to check out logs. If you really, really need analytics - I heard good things about Fathom.

Hmm, I will definitely check out Fathom.

Yeah, I should have been more explicit with the website URL. I did link to it before the planning section, but I will make an edit to make it more explicit.
I have only one CSS file (2.5kB), and that's what it shows in the Network Panel in Chrome Dev Tools, but maybe we are measuring differently.

This is what I see:
CSS filesize

I have no idea why you are seeing this, I tested using Lighthouse as well and it also shows 2.5kb
