This Website's Changelog

This article is a changelog for a personal website, detailing technical improvements made in a single day. Updates include automatic content-hash ETags for caching, 304 responses for repeat visitors, request size limits, timeouts, a Prometheus metrics endpoint, and a thumbnail service reducing gallery page weight from 24MB to 400KB. Dark mode flash was fixed by applying the theme before first paint. The 404 page now fuzzy-matches essay slugs to suggest correct pages. Additional fixes cover static asset caching, lazy-loading images, skip-to-content links, keyboard-accessible nav dropdowns, and improved structured data. The article focuses on web development, performance optimization, and user experience enhancements, making it relevant to IT/technology.
