Hi, I'm Luke Harrison
With over 9 years of experience, I currently work at the UK's leading car finance broker Evolution Funding, where I'm driving (š„) front-end development and refining the UX of products and services.
I'm also available on a freelance basis. Do you need a top notch website building, or maybe an article for your SEO content strategy? I'm available for hire.
Recent highlights include writing for Web Designer Magazine, contributing to CSS Tricks, and celebrating when a project - Mike Brewer Motors - won 'Best Online Experience' at Autotrader's 2018 Retailer Awards.
Do you know the impact unused CSS has on performance? Spoiler: Itās a lot! In this article, weāll explore a Sass-oriented solution for dealing with unused CSS, avoiding the need for complicated Node.js dependencies involving headless browsers, and DOM emulation.

This article introduces you to front-end performance optimization. It covers why front-end performance matters, how to measure performance, and what tools you should use to collect relevant metrics.
