Optimize site for speed

Currently we're loading the full jQuery lib and as far as I can see it's only for plugins.js and main.js which are short, simple, and can easily be rewritten in vanilla js with IE8 (or IE7?) support.
@futekov Feel free to rewrite without jQuery (although I've never really thought loading a cached version of jQuery was a big deal whatsoever).
I get your complaint now, but I think it's a bigger issue than just jQuery. I don't think I'm using Modernizr at all, and I'm pretty sure we can drop half-support for older browsers and get rid of respond.js, etc. as well, so I'm going to retitle this issue. In the meantime, it is only ~30kb for all that garbage, but I definitely get your point.
@kizu @Panya What kind of browser support are we aiming at? Is IE9+ alright?
I'm also thinking about migrating this to Netlify for some performance perks like HTTP2/CDN. It'd still be built directly from this repo. It'd just be faster. Anyone mind?
IE9+ with usable fallback for others. Feel free to do the migration if it would be faster and would still build from the repo :)
Okay, thanks for the autonomy. I don't think we'll have any downtime. I'm pretty tired so I might put this off until tomorrow. 😴
