TYPE: HTML Optimisation
STATUS: Finished

DETAILS
A Holiday home rental company website was causing trouble for some customers, longer loading times that expected and sometimes browser crashes.

I went though the code by hand and cleaned it up as much as possible without making any changes to the design of the site, after many hours of work I managed to reduce the sites code by 85% without any noticable changes to the end user other than faster loading times, over 5000 lines of junk code was removed from the site.
