Lehan Edirisinghe

A long optimization day spent measuring Horizon PR page speeds, stripping out video drag, converting icons to SVG, compressing files, and settling on a darker Rothschild blue that makes the menu finally feel right.

(b)

In Jonathan's Horizon PR, the homepage is:

Then, there are:

What = 95 | Recheck = 95

https://www.horizonpr.com/1.html

Who = 52 surprise! | Recheck = confirm low 54

https://www.horizonpr.com/2.html

Why =96

https://www.horizonpr.com/3.html

Which = 93

https://www.horizonpr.com/4.html

Where = 94

https://www.horizonpr.com/5.html

Very strange, the who page, most likely, as Jonathan has inserted/ embedded a video:

https://youtu.be/CwOwFSB0Q_Y

It has clogged, bogged and slugged it down !

There are Javascript (JS) code to run these video players

***

***

So, must try to restrict use of videos

Suspecting Google Event Beacons of Slowing the Website

2:30 p.m.

I did check out my own website's code <>

We inserted some event trigger beacons w/ help from Google's experts, to update us of visitors...

This Javascript might be costing a few 10-1,000 MS in Javascript runtime/ execution or blocktime

I dunno, I am out of my depths, but I can learn

Rothschild Blue, Hyacinth Macaws and Tefillin

4:15 p.m.

And, Voila!

Beautiful Rothschild Blue --

reminiscent of the night train filter, and also--

a much darker shade of blue than the blue--

I used to paint my grandma's blue "Kandyan Saree"

she was draped in.

I need more Hyacinth macaws to captive breed, the Spinx macaws are being captive bred --

Then they will be reintroduced to repopulate wildlife--

I think, I could probably use the Hyacinth's feathers to make blue pigment--

It is rarest colour in nature --

I also think Jewish people like Jonathan Hirshon use it on their Tefillin

A special kind of blue is used,

I can gift them some, to make special tefillin

Compressing an SVG Icon by 37 Percent

4:30 p.m.

(b)

So, this SVG icon file, it can be condensed/ compressed to save about 37% or 395 bytes

This is important, as the larger a file, the longer it takes to load a website
