- Changed webfonts back to font-display:swap, turns out optional means if they don't load immediately they never show.
- change web fonts from font-display: swap to font-display: optional; supposedly better for avoiding layout shifts, better CLS
- added overflow:visible !important to .si-hover-slider , another fix for the theme author making animation impossible
- Added svg {overflow:visible !important;} to theme css because idiotic parent theme author made them all overflow:hidden, which breaks animations
- removed filter: drop-shadow( 1px 1px 2px rgba(255, 255, 0, .8)); from spinning gear on appearance adjuster tab... prevented animation from being compositable.
- Add an intersection observer to theme custom.js to send message to iframes in hero to start and stop animations as they enter and leave visible area, so as not to tie up main thread.
- added !important to height:514px on .hover-slide-bg to overcome stupid theme css.
- Add height:514px; to .hover-slide-bg to try again to avoid layout shifts
- Added will-change to .si-spinner > div and blink css because Chrome is complaining that the animations on them, which are entirely compositable, aren't compositable.
- added aspect-ratio: 920 / 506 to .mk-hero-row-bg, needed to prevent layout shift
- add 0% {opacity:1;} to BLINK animation
- Add min-height:514px; to iframes in hero to prevent layout shift
- Added block to theme additions to enqueue all CSS asynchronously
- Inline underconstruction.css
- Add block to theme additions to defer dashicons loading
- Add code the theme additions to dequeue block css and defer jquery, to reduce render blocking
- Add array('strategy' => 'defer', 'in_footer' => true) to underconstruction.js to defer
- Turned off nonessential cloudflare email scraping protection that was injecting blocking javascript early in page load. It's widely recommended to turn it off for this reason.
- Make KTWP Draggable Elements defer the javascript load. Now requires WP 6.3
- add_image_size( 'thumb-menu', 48, 48 ); & add_image_size( 'thumb-hero', 920, 506,true ), redo hero.php and menu generation plugin to use new sizes, update .hover-slide-bg:not(.active) > .mk-hero-row-bg & .hover-slide-bg:.active > .mk-hero-row-bg translateY to make new hero image size not show image edges
- 2025dec24
- Added html {scroll-padding-top: 200px; /* make opening page.html#anchor open so #anchor is at 200px */} to css
- 2025dec21
- Installed ddclient to dynamically update Cloudflare DNS if external IP changes again. Like it did today. For the first time in years.
- 2025dec18
- add ".is-mobile-menu-active .ktwp-kupietabs-tab-div {transform: translateX(-48px); transition: transform .75s ease-in-out;}" to theme styles so kupietools tabs slide off screen on mobile when mobile menu opens.
- 2025dec16
- Changed Mariadb sort_buffer_size, read_buffer_size, read_rnd_buffer_size for better memory performance - see saved notes in backups/admin HD folder for details
- Put Cloudflare turnstile in front of commonly exploited WP URIs with custom Cloudflare WAF rule. Screw you, bots. (Also installed IP blocker plugin in kupietz.com while I was at it.)

This site brought to you by four months flat on my back in summer 2023 due to long covid, plus a whole lot of additional lovin' sweat & frustration since then. Per aspera, ad astra.
