It's cached. Not ideal, sure, and I'll get rid of that bloat someday, but that file is not mission-critical and the cost is amortized between visits. I admit my fault though.

Definitely fair and I was a bit harsh. It just seemed a bit nonsensical to go through such efforts to get rid of a few kilobytes while serving a massive font file. But I also understand that it's mostly for fun :)

For who? Not for 99.9% of the people clicking the link here on HN. Even regular visitors of a blog will likely no longer have things in cache for their next visit.

As usual, the quickest way to optimize a webpage is to show HN how you tried to do so lol

Definitely a fascinating post though, there were things I’ve not encountered before.

I mean, it's all just for fun of course.
