More site updates

Since the last post about the blog I have been playing with the blog a bit more, I have finally got a decent PageSpeed Insights Score↗;

It’s annoying that the Disqus javascript is keeping me from getting 100/100 but considering before I started to tweak things I was getting a score of 85/100 so I can’t complain too much.

I have also adding the following functionality to my Gruntfile↗

• grunt test - Runs a PageSpeed Insight test from the command line and highlights if either the mobile or desktop test drops below 95/100
• grunt grab - Grabs the external Javascript needed to run the site so I can serve it locally.

I rolled these into the grunt deploy task. The task now does the following when called;

• Clears the previous “prod” folder
• Concatenates and compresses the javascript and CSS files
• Downloads the external javascript dependencies
• Regenerates the entire site putting it into the empty “prod” folder
• Uploads the changed files to Amazon S3↗
• Flushes the Cloudflare↗ cache
• Runs a PageSpeed Insights mobile and desktop test on two different URLs

You can see it in action below;

I also added a 404 page.
