It certainly is, for my personal site though I made a conscious effort to reduce js to zero and css to minimal (no bootstrap, etc.) I clock in at a 94 on web.dev, and could get that to 100 if I removed the single web font I use. It's also a hobby, and the point where the nice-to-haves of other people start creating work for me, is the point it stops being fun.
For a service or brand, it's probably a good idea to deliver a dark mode at some point (especially one that people are forced to stare at for extended periods).
- brundolf 5y agoMy website gets a perfect score on Lighthouse - total download size without images is 7.1kB - and it supports dark mode: https://www.brandons.me/ https://www.brandons.me/ The dark theme is 10 lines of CSS.
- chomp 5y agoYeah, it's not impossible to get good speed on dark mode; my parent suggested that reader doesn't work well if you have a ton of JS/CSS and I replied that I do not have JS and not-quite-a-lot of CSS for reasons, so reader works fine for people who want to read my site. Your site is very minimalistic, and that is fine, because it's your site and it's what you like and it's your hobby. I'm less of a minimalistic person, so dark mode would require thought on how I would present a dark theme to users other than just coloring black and grey or white. That's too much work for me and it's personally not interesting (mostly because I do not like dark themes).
