Decided to remove a giant chunk of resources and 3rd party scripts, again:

Ok - time to get this back up again! After a few years of not focusing on this, the numbers are going in the wrong direction:

The biggest culprits for this are:

1. Algolia loading script
2. Google Analytics
3. Theme switching style rules

Time to get the 🧨 and get cleaning up! 😛

Wow, I’ve been using Kirupa for years, and I have to say, the recent speed and performance improvements made it better!

With its retro feel the pixel theme is a nice choice
