- All homepage styling and scripts have been moved to external cacheable files. This means your browser only downloads them once, repeat visits now load significantly faster. The homepage HTML payload dropped from ~3,100 lines to ~470 lines.
- Smarter Animations
- Our animated backgrounds (particles, and more) now automatically pause when you scroll past them and resume when you scroll back. The same goes for canvas particle effects — they stop drawing entirely when the section leaves your screen, freeing up your CPU and GPU.
- Background particle systems now pause completely when you switch to another browser tab, eliminating unnecessary resource usage when you're not actively viewing the site.
- Faster Font Loading
- Added preconnect hints for Google Fonts, shaving ~100-200ms off initial font loading times.
- Lazy Image Loading
- News and deal images now load on demand as you scroll, rather than all at once on page load. This speeds up the initial render considerably.
- Reduced Cursor Trail Overhead
- The arcane cursor trail effect now runs at a more efficient frame rate, cutting DOM element creation in half while maintaining the same visual feel.
- Cleaned Up Dead Code
- Removed unused JavaScript functions and redundant style processing that were adding unnecessary weight to every homepage visit.
