Am I thinking about removing some personality from my website? Yeah, but it’s not because I want to have the world’s most boring site. Who in the world would want something like that? We live in the web 2.0 era, for cryin’ out loud. We don’t need to subject our audiences to HTML only sites. Fancy things are still nice.

I do, however, want to have a speedy site. Like, the speediest site around. The best way to do that is to remove the things that are taking up loads of space. In my case, I’ll be removing the custom font I had been using and replacing it with a system font. Standard? Yes. Boring? Hell no! Speedy? You bet your butt.
