Cool, but the contest page (https://a-k-apart.com) is 204.5 K. Disappointed.

Disable JS and view on a small screen :-) It progressively enhances to that size. I’ll be writing about the process and design in forthcoming posts.

Smallest view (240px wide) with no JS renders in 6.9kB (DOMContentLoaded hit at 94ms, Load at 119ms). Also in play: client-side caching with ServiceWorker and some localStorage goodies to speed things up on modern browsers.

Honestly, >10k google analytics doesn't sound like "progressive enhancement" from a user perspective, but I get why it's included. How would that be rated in the actual challenge? (Maybe do and publish a mock "grading" of the announcement page as an example, to make clearer how the rules work?)

I plan to write up how the site was built and give some hints as to how you can use lazy loading, etc. to your advantage.

Out of curiosity, which browser are you in? I get 87.9K for the homepage, including all dependencies, lazy loaded JS, the SVG hero, etc. Are you getting WebP images or PNG?
