Congratulations on not using any Javascript on the front page, except for what looks like the same email-obfuscating JS that Cloudflare injected on my site until I disabled that. In my mind, external JS is one of the worst things you can do to a website, and even self-hosted JS is bad if it's affecting layout/behavior much: people without JS enabled get a crap experience.

Your site looks great!

Thanks, I've gotten rid of the CloudFlare email-obfuscation wasn't aware that was enabled. It's now 100% JS free which is nice.

I actually recently got rid of GA because I didn't want to have to add JS to implement a cookie banner to comply with EU regulations.

Yeah, I can see how a lot of people would want the email obfuscation but I don't--especially as I was polishing off a blog post about how ideologically pure my website is, with no javascript or external resources!

I got rid of GA because Cloudflare provides some analytics and that's enough for me.

Agreed the CloudFlare analytics are good enough
