Big GIF? Turn it into an MP4. Video codecs handle motion far better than GIF, so the clip usually gets much smaller and plays smoother. Free, up to 50 MB, no signup, no watermark, and it stays in your browser. convertlo.pro/gif-to-mp4.htm… #GIF #video

Still serving WOFF fonts? W3C's evaluation found WOFF2 about 24% smaller than WOFF 1.0 (median, Google Fonts), about 27% on Adobe TrueType fonts and about 13.5% on CFF fonts. Smaller fonts, faster pages. w3.org/TR/WOFF20ER/ #webfonts #webperf
