By removing the 6 lines of code that connected to nothing (courtesy of the theme provider) we’ve been able to speed up page loading significantly. Initial paint is not faster, but the final elements of the page will now complete much quicker. These include the floating header, share icons, and floating sidebar. You’ll now see that your browser doesn’t continue to load while you’re already starting the articles. This bugged the hell out of me, but you may or may not have noticed. Either way, it’s fixed now. That being said, the speed score still leaves much to be desired–will keep working on that.
