After playing around with your portfolio yesterday, I was really thrilled by how everything worked.

The color themes were great, especially the neon theme, that's my favourite.

I'm glad you wrote this article explaining you process of achieving the portfolio, now I know why you choose not to use a library/framework.

Really good work! I鈥檓 personally working in React for the time being therefor cutting on some libraries and files is not really recommended but React as a default makes sure to load only necessary files. Amazing scores! Congratz! Really brave to try this out in Vanilla Js due to crazy amount of libraries today to make work faster.

Thank you for sharing your experience! I've been procrastinating on my portfolio for months now going down wormholes of frameworks and different designs. This was informative and inspiring for me to focus on building an accessible site with the basics!

Great job! Thanks for sharing! Quick question, is this not apply for PageSpeed Insights?

Pagespeed and Lighthouse process scores differently.

Since I have a lot of third party code, like analytics and YouTube embeds on the landing page, Pagespeed takes the load time for those elements into consideration as well. Lighthouse focuses more on a well-rounded audit based on different paramaters.

Great job Jemima, but that being said you shouldn't only trust in the lighthouse! Actually, I find several issues on your website! For example the "iframe loading" is not supported by the Firefox and Safari prove: caniuse.com/?search=iframe loading The "meta theme color" almost only support on Chrome (so your multiple color themes is useless at this point!) prove : caniuse.com/?search=theme-color

Scripts are not minified!

Thanks for the feedback Masih :)

The meta theme color only changes the color for the meta theme but it doesn't affect the rest of the page. Lazy loading of the iframes is just an added benefit for browsers that support it.

Hope that clears things up.
