Last week I hit the point where I felt pretty happy with where things stood, so I shipped the new version of the site to my primary domain! I let it run for a week and then decided to check it in PageSpeed Insights to gauge how successful I was with the changes.

Previously, this is where the page was sitting. Not super great perf wise.

And now with the new version its doing much better. A small bump in the A11y score to bring that to 100, and an even larger jump on performance. I attribute this mainly to not using the particle background anymore, but nevertheless I'm calling this a win!

There are a couple small tweaks I may make here and there, but for now I'm calling this done and starting prep for the next website - my resume.
