Hey Friends , I want to share a project I recently made. This is a responsive design. I have used media queries and used two media queries. I want to know what changes I can made at these pages to make my page looks good, take less loading time and so on. One more thing - How can i reduce to number of line of code to achieve the same output. So please reply after seeing my project. Thanks Friends . You are all awesome really. You have been so helpful. :) This is my html code:

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsLooks like you've done a great job with the project so far. :)
Rather than try to list everything from the top of my head I'd like to point you in the direction ofthe Front End Optimisation course which will teach you everything you need to know to reduce your bandwidth and page loading times.
Website Optimisation - https://teamtreehouse.com/library/website-optimization Front End Web Optimisation Workflow - https://teamtreehouse.com/library/front-end-web-optimization-workflow Introduction to Front End Performance - https://teamtreehouse.com/library/introduction-to-front-end-performance-optimization
Good luck!

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 11,638 PointsThanks Jonathan Grieve . Before website optimisation course , in Front End Path , there is "Bootstrap 4 " course. Is it necessary to complete "bootstrap 4 " before "website optimisation" ?

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsNot strictly neccessary no, but perhaps ideal :)
You can't do everything at once but if you start the courses now you'll get a firm foundation on how what you do affects page load speeds and traffic.
You can take the courses in the track in any order you please though.
