Ditching webfonts for system fonts? A masterstroke. It dodged FOUT and saved bytes by leaning on native beauties like Roboto or San Francisco. When juggling a tight 128KB budget, out goes the clunky frameworks. In comes Whizz, a slick custom library that sharpens DOM and AJAX choreography.
Images weren't spared the makeover. TinyPNG and MozJPEG squeezed them lean. SVGs got a careful curation, and manual tweaks cut the bloat from 5–10KB to mere bytes. Constraints pushed innovation. Like how DOOM rocked minds with a lean 3MB while today we drown in script excess.
Necessity makes a hell of a muse.
