I have, for many years admired this company for their advertising artwork. Here is a fantastic example from 1990.
Optimisations

I optimised performance by deferring render-blocking resources and streamlining my external connections. I added the defer attribute to my jQuery and Lightbox2 script tags so they load in the background without delaying the initial page render. I also improved connection times by adding preconnect links for my external resources from code.jquery.com and cdnjs.cloudflare.com. Additionally, I modified the Lightbox2 stylesheet link using a media attribute trick to ensure it doesn’t block rendering. This should improve load times while maintaining functionality.
Design Tweaks

In recent weeks, I’ve refined the design aesthetics of this blog, focusing primarily on the background and link colors. Additionally, I’ve added Lightbox functionality. Since the Lightbox resources are served via a CDN, the overhead is minimal.
CloudFront speeds up image retrieval by caching images at multiple edge locations around the world. When a user requests an image, CloudFront delivers it from the nearest edge location instead of fetching it from your origin (like your S3 bucket), which might be far away. This significantly reduces latency and load times. Additionally, CloudFront optimizes network routing and supports features like compression and smart caching policies to ensure that content is delivered as efficiently as possible.
