Server & Frontend Performance Optimization

Comprehensive optimization of load times and caching across all public pages. Repeat visits now load near-instantly.

  • Asset Caching | New .htaccess with 1-year max-age and immutable for CSS, JS, images, and fonts. Apache compression (mod_deflate) for all text-based assets.
  • Gzip Compression | CI3 Output Compression enabled | HTML responses compressed server-side (~70% smaller).
  • Render-blocking Eliminated | All 12 footer JavaScript files switched to defer. No more JS blocking the initial render.
  • Conditional Loading | particles.js (~50 KB) now only loads on the homepage, no longer on every subpage.
  • Resource Hints | Added DNS-prefetch, preconnect, and CSS preload for critical stylesheets in the <head>.
  • Lazy Loading | All below-the-fold images (homepage + footer) now use loading="lazy".
  • CSS Deduplication | Removed duplicate connect-btn CSS from home.php (already in header.php). Removed redundant context-menu blockers from Rules, FAQ, Vote, and Changelog pages.
  • Security Headers | HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, XSS-Protection, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy set via .htaccess.
  • Cookie Hardening | Enabled cookie_secure and cookie_httponly in config.php.

Page Title, Footer, and Vote UX Polish

Visual polish update reducing the purple-heavy palette and improving interaction consistency across all public pages.

  • Page title restyle | Replaced the purple header glow on Vote, Changelog, FAQ, and Rules with a soft green-to-cyan gradient for a fresher, less aggressive look.
  • Footer copyright restyle | Removed the animated purple text glow from the footer copyright line; replaced with a calm gray scheme and subtle cyan hover accent.
  • Vote Continue fix | Fixed the Continue button not appearing after clicking Start Vote Run; button now stays visible alongside Start until all four vote sites are opened.

  • Footer cleanup | Removed unused footer menu/support sections and removed page breadcrumbs from Rules, FAQ, Vote, and Changelog pages.

  • DDoS protection update | Added active DDoS protection status card and cleaned up obsolete background monitoring tasks.
  • Vote UX fix | Fixed the broken Start Vote Run JavaScript and kept the sequential Continue flow for pop-up-based voting.
  • Authentication UX | Shortened the dashboard online verification code to a 4-digit numeric PIN for easier manual entry.
