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 Scoreā†— ;

pagespeedinsights

Itā€™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 canā€™t complain too much.

I have also adding the following functionality to my Gruntfileā†—

  • grunt testā€Šā€”ā€ŠRuns a PageSpeed Insight test from the command line and highlights if either the mobile or desktop test drops below 95/100
  • grunt grabā€Šā€”ā€ŠGrabs 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 ā€œprodā€ folder
  • Concatenates and compresses the javascript and CSS files
  • Downloads the external javascript dependencies
  • Regenerates the entire site putting it into the empty ā€œprodā€ folder
  • Uploads the changed files to Amazon S3ā†—
  • Flushes the Cloudflareā†— 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.
