🚧🚧 Todo List 🚧🚧

Below is a hodge podge list of notes and issues I want to track but don't want to make full issues for yet.

• make a cool 404 page https://gohugo.io/templates/404/
• Posts list are alphabetical, but they should be chronological imo
• setup script that can optimize images or see if i can configure the bot. The sizes could be smaller and we can be more aggressive
• make github social preview https://www.d-hagemeier.com/en/articles/generate-social-media-preview-images/ and this https://medium.com/swlh/explore-new-github-readme-feature-7d5cc21bf02f
• images for cards don't always scale to all be the same height
• Make it so figures expand their images for viewing full screen
• Google Lighthouse
  • Random Articles:
    • https://martijnvanvreeden.nl/10-ways-to-improve-your-hugo-website-performance/
  • Performance:
    • Image size optimizations
      • Look into moving images into content folder so its part of the hugo asset pipeline
        • https://regisphilibert.com/blog/2018/01/hugo-page-resources-and-how-to-use-them/
        • https://scripter.co/hugo-leaf-and-branch-bundles/
        • https://github.com/spech66/hugo-best-practices#content-organization
    • Unused CSS in bootstrap.min.css (my domain) and all.min.css (cloudflare)
    • unused jquery (my domain)
    • perhaps bundle css/js without moving to webpack https://github.com/spech66/hugo-best-practices#css-and-javascript
    • preconnect to cloudflare for assets
    • Fix font loading
    • Images explicit width/height
    • perhaps lazy load disqus as it takes a while https://blog.kulman.sk/delaying-disqus-comments-to-save-requests/
  • Accessability:
    • Nav hamburger button needs accessible name or aria label https://web.dev/button-name/?utm_source=lighthouse&utm_medium=devtools
    • Avatar needs alt text (also for SEO)
    • Card images need alt
    • Card links need meaningful name https://web.dev/link-name/?utm_source=lighthouse&utm_medium=devtools
    • Read buttons on cards need more contrast
    • header elements don't follow semantic html ordering
    • Smooth scroll links in footer don't meet minumum 48x48 tap target size
    • Search form is missing a label
    • html is missing lang attribute on posts page
    • Search bar list UL contains a div
    • markdown highlight produces bad contrast ratio
  • Progressive web app
    • Looks like there is no auto install, need to setup a manifest and service worker. Will need to be able to include the script in the html though
  • SEO
    • Posts page missing meta description
    • https://moz.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-seo-meta-tags
    • site map, keyword searches, robots.txt
    • https://schema.org/ https://github.com/spech66/hugo-best-practices#add-a-schemaorg-partial
