Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

⚙️ Contributing

The pyssim Python module is used to compute the Structural Similarity Image Metric (SSIM). It can be installed on Mac using brew install python then pip install pyssim.

The original, unoptimised images are located in /images/photoshop. Each time a tool is tested, its directory (eg. /images/codekit) is replaced with the original images from /images/photoshop, the tool is then run over the images to update the benchmark.

/images/worst is a copy of the original images at /images/photoshop which is then compressed to the worst possible image quality. This value lets us calculate the quality loss percentage for each image.

Each time the /images directory changes, /src/data/results.json needs to be updated using yarn update-results.

These images used are exported from a .psd kindly given to us by Daan Jobsis from his tests carried out for the article [Retina Revolution: Follow Up](http://blog.netvlies.nl/design-interactie /retina-revolutie-follow-up/), containing photographs of varying levels of detail, simple patterns, and logos.

The images are exported using "Save for Web" as;

  • GIF (+Interlaced).
  • JPEG (+Optimised, Progressive).
  • PNG 8 (+Interlaced).
  • PNG 24 (+Interlaced).

Manual Steps

  • /images/codekit is compressed using https://incident57.com/codekit/.
  • /images/kraken is uploaded using the File Uploader at https://kraken.io/web-interface. The Zip file is then downloaded and extracted into this directory.
  • /images/smushit is uploaded one-by-one using the Uploader view at http://www.smushit.com/ysmush.it. The Zip file is then downloaded and extracted into this directory.
  • /images/tinypng is uploaded in batches of 20 at a time using the uploader at https://tinypng.com, downloaded one-by-one then moved into this directory.
