Get Peak WordPress Performance with Jetpack
18.7.2019
The irony of web performance is that the average page weight of a site continues to go up year after year, despite us being more aware of the problem and having more tools at our disposal to fight it than ever.

Multi-Line Truncation with Pure CSS
17.7.2019
Truncating a single line of text if is fairly straightforward. Truncating multiple lines is a bit harder. Using just CSS (no JavaScript or server-side dancing) is nice for the simplicity. It's gotten a little easier lately since Firefox (since version 68) has started supporting the ultra-bizarre...

CSS Gradient Text

The Fight Against Layout Jank
11.7.2019
A web page isn't locked in stone just because it has rendered visually. Media assets, like images, can come in and cause the layout to shift based on their size, which typically isn't known in fluid layouts until they do render. Or fonts can load and reflow layout. Or XHRs can bring in more content...
