The photo is the identity evidence the external review flagged as the biggest
gap. One source image (Pictures/Professional Portrait with Blue Gradient
Background.png, 1254x1254), two sizes, WebP first with a JPEG fallback —
continuous tone is the case where WebP/JPEG beat PNG:
640x640 42 KB JPG / 26 KB WebP About page (190 CSS px)
128x128 3 KB JPG / 2 KB WebP author card + home hero avatar
It now appears in the About hero, the author card at the end of every post, the
home hero (both languages), and JSON-LD Person.image — the node search engines
read to associate the name with a face.
About went from 1,024 characters to five sections: identity with photo, "By the
numbers" (162 containers / 3 hosts / 71 essays / 0 hosting companies between me
and the servers), the real tech stack in four columns, the Hoelee Enterprise
block (website design and development is the main business, email hosting
secondary), and a contact split between hiring and business.
Also: the headshot's dark-blue background sits close to the page background, so
the photo, hero avatar and card avatar get a faint brand ring plus shadow.
Pictures/ keeps the converted JPG master next to the untouched PNG.
