css minify, compression, and any more performance improvements

[mstacey]

A quick audit in Chrome 66 pulls out a trove of places that could be heavily improved to improve performance. Minify the Javascript, minify the CSS, enable text compression on the web server, tree shaking on the CSS to remove unused CSS rules. The first 3 of those should be relatively trivial, and to be honest in 2018 web development should absolutely be part of a packaged web server product!
