Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing great!
This is a long post, so thank you in advance for your time!
A few days ago, I shared with you a site I built for a client, and I thank you all for the comments and for visiting it!
Topic: Site launch: REDWAR.gr đđ» - #17 by efthymis
URL: redwar.gr
Now that it is launched, I have a few questions on optimization.
-
Should I examine all css/classes and try to consolidate them? I have already used the option to âdelete any unused classesâ. But I noticed that, while I was building the site, whenever I styled lets say a button, a new class was created. Now, all my buttons share the same appearance (glossy, bold white text), but each one still has its own class. Shouldnât I make just one class and apply it to all the buttons? Thereâs definitely many other items that share an appearance too, and Iâm pretty sure they have their own classes instead of just one.

When I was building it, the images that I used were either png or jpeg (when I didnât care about transparency). If Iâm not mistaken, Blocs converts everything to webp. However, when viewing the source code I think I saw some mentions of the png files. The same happens when I use googleâs PageSpeed Insights, I see references to the pngs. Should I check each image, and perhaps convert them to webp myself if they werenât auto-converted? Also, is it really safe to rely only on webp? I guess all browsers support it, but are there situations that a fallback to png/jpeg is necessary? (I noticed that in the âimgâ folder there are both versions, e.g. Artbook.png - Artbook.webp, so should I just leave them as they are?)

In a few months, the site will also be in English and French. My plan is this:
Create a new index.html page that will simply be the logo, and a language selector graphic (3 medieval banners with the Greek/US-UK/French flag). I will have 3 copies of the whole site, and each flag will point to the relevant site. Iâm sure there may be easier methods, so Iâm open to ideas. But if I stick to this plan, I plan to create 3 folders on the server, each containing a full site (image attached). Do you think it will work? Should I be especially cautious of something? -
I know Blocs doesnât support viewing the full page source, but I noticed one problem with my carousel. Whenever I export it, 3 of the indicators reference another carousel-id , thus they do not work properly. So I always go to the page source after exporting, and edit it myself (screenshot included). Is there any way to fix it permanently from within Blocs?
Again, thank you all so much for your time! I really appreciate it that users help each other in here. Us rookies have a lot to learn from you! Be well and safe everybody!!
