Image optimization in Hugo
Text content of all my 300+ blog posts is less than 2 MB in size containing the metadata.

Migration from Wordpress to Hugo

During my website migration it became evident that I would also need a new email service.
Pirsch - Google Analytics alternative for static website
Setting up anayltics tracking for a web page is simple. Just copy couple of lines of code from the select analytics service and you are good to go.
