A few months back was the first time I've ever endeavored on making code smaller regardless of readability. It's for the home page of my website, it took hours to get it under 1 mb, but it felt very rewarding. This is when I came across my second lesson, mentioned in this article, it doesn't render fast. In my case even though all the assets are downloaded, it's still too heavy. Either way, when you get time to work on this type of stuff it can be pretty fun.
