    Nice one. Your portfolio site has only 12 errors, just want to inforum you ;)

    Clean design, nice colors. 8/10 I would say.

    Site loads 1.1MB to my hdd, pretty much.

    Google Page Speed Score is 66 for me. That's poor.

    Let's see the suggestions from Google:

    
    Combine external JavaScript
    Enable compression
    Leverage browser caching
    Minify CSS
    Parallelize downloads across hostnames
    Serve scaled images
    Serve static content from a cookieless domain
    Combine external CSS
    Minify JavaScript
    Specify a Vary: Accept-Encoding header
    Specify image dimensions
    
    Code (markup):
    This WP installation needs some optimization ;)

    Questions? Pm me :)

    something wrong with your fonts, at least this is how I see them, but it's just critique because I expect more neat work from you :) really nice looking site and mods of elegant themes

    Thanks CSM, Wow! That's pretty quick !

    I know website still needs optimization, I have checked with YSlow and almost same report. As I said I'm still working, I have made some priority as I can devote very little time. More priority to visual aspect and to drive quality traffic, then I might be working on performance.

    Blame it to me, I guess Home page is okay? I still have to check other pages.

    Sure thing, will shoot to you. or in the forum? so that everyone will be helpful.

    Appreciate the quick responce.
    Thanks

    Critiques are always welcome. You know what I do think so. I'm not 100% confident on font. I do feel font is not 100% easy to read. Interested to see, if others too have the same thought on font.

    Thank you Annel, appreciate your time and feedback.

    I like the design, but would make logo a little more bright.

    One criticism. The front page took some time to load for me, I think because of the images. It depends on your audience and how fast you expect their internet to be, I suppose. (I'm using mobile broadband and I sometimes even use dial-up.)

    There are still some optimization pending. However, may be i was not worried about the slow connection. I thought my target audience may have a fair connection speed. Curious to know what's your connection speed?

    Thanks for visiting. I am taking your criticism in a positive way, I will definitely concentrate on performance.
