Optimizations

[PraneyaKumar]

This PR improves site performance and security by addressing critical dependencies, optimizing assets, and implementing best practices:

Fixes #251

Fixed Critical Single Points of Failure (SPOF):

• External dependencies like jQuery and Google Fonts could block rendering in case of failure.
• Self-hosted these to resolve .

Optimized Asset Loading:

• Minified CSS files (bootstrap.css, bootstrap-responsive.css, swc.css), reducing total size by 19% (~29.5 KiB).

Deferred JavaScript parsing:

• Deferred JavaScript parsing (~78.7 KiB) to improve page load speed.

Implemented Content Security Policy (CSP):

• Added CSP headers in _config.yml to restrict resource loading and mitigate security risks.

Enabled Caching for Faster Page Loads:

• Integrated jekyll-include-cache for optimized Liquid includes.

Improved Accessibility:

• Defined a lang attribute in the HTML root for better accessibility and SEO.

Thanks for the PR @PraneyaKumar, can you explain these changes? I am not familiar with how much of this works.

It also seems the build of the website is failing now, can you look into those?
