Improve Lighthouse Score

[MikeRogers0]

I'd love to do some work on improve the current lighthouse scores, mainly around accessibility & performance :)

What is your preferred way for me to chip away at these? I'm thinking I try to create PRs when I can, focusing on the quick wins first then moving onto the harder stuff as I get more confident in the codebase.

@MikeRogers0 Sounds great! Smaller PR's are easier to review/merge.

I'm super excited for https://github.com/zzak/sdoc/pull/154 - I reckon that'll improve the scores massively :D

The next thing I'm going to attempt do is try to compile some of the CSS/JS into single files. I might try to setup a fun netlify preview system as part of that if you'd like? :)

[MikeRogers0]

Scores have massively improved when I test this against our Netlify preview app. Nice work everyone :)

Maybe we should also add caching to the assets and lazily build the panel tree (only create dom elements when clicking).

Ah, you already created an issue :)
rails/rails-docs-server#25

I did make a PR also ( rails/rails-docs-server#24 ), but it didn't get much traction (They'd prefer a asset digest first) :/

Plus their setup appears to be a single server based in the USA. I think they'd be much better off using a CDN (Or Netlify for those sweet PR previews).

Any ideas of how to help the Rails team with their setup @p8 ? (Also is it worth it?)

lazily build the panel tree (only create dom elements when clicking).

This would be really cool!
