The entire site has been written in a clean and easy to read markup leveraging new semantic HTML5 tags and CSS3. There is minimal dependence on the site design (Moonlight theme) allowing for any future redesigns. The blog posts have been written in Markdown. Most blogs posts contain atleast one image having a width of upto 500px.

A lot of emphasis has been given to optimise the website loading time. Almost all Javascripts would be asynchronously loaded. There are various optimisations in the .htaccess file.
