Love Reading is a site that promotes a dynamic book club which caters to people with different reading styles. It hopes to connect, motivate and inspire people to become literary lovers.

According to light house testing my project meets the main criteria. However, my initial performance score was 65%. After discussing this with my mentor, we concluded that this was as a result of the size of my hero image 1. He suggested that I compress the image using

CompressJpeg.

LightHouseTesting

I did this and also compressed my hero image 2. After both images were compressed, my score went up to 85%

My accessibility score was at 92% initially as I had a problem with the color contrast. So I had to darken the font color of my menu and body text so that users who may suffer from color blindness would be able to read the content clearly and with ease. This brought my score to 100%.
