⚡ Beyond NRG — full week review

My third energy drink review! It is a little late because I apparently have a life, but worry not! It’s here now, and it’s time to talk about Beyond.

Be more.
Go Beyond.

How good is that?!

⚡ Powdered energy drinks – power, focus, and no sugar

It was May 2019 when I learned that powdered energy drinks were a thing, obviously, through an ad on Facebook. The first brand I met was Sneak, and soon enough I placed my first order. Just a tester pack, well, actually two, with 5 sachets in each. Less than three weeks after that I bought my first tub. Cherry Bomb.

💎 Weekly Gems (16 – 22 May 2022)

I thought it’d be nice to come back to this series. It should at least get me into the rhythm of writing and that’s a good enough reason, to be honest.

The idea is simple: I gather interesting links to websites, shops, video game trailers and news. Anything that I found worth reading/looking over/buying. Be prepared for frontend coding, nice books and usually some game-related content as well.

Ready?

6 tricks to make your CSS file smaller

…without making it look weird or/and hard to read.

Quickly achieved lazy-loading

Lazy loading is one of those easy wins, that will please Google PageSpeed score. It’s also a nice gesture for all your readers, that are using a poor or metered connection.

If you’re using WordPress, the fastest way is to use one of 27354 plugins available in WordPress’ repository. You can use a dedicated solution that does only that, or maybe turn on that option inside Autoptimize plugin (that I highly recommend).
