Doty, I might need to mention again that Sparkle’s focus is to do everything visually, at the expense of possibly not having everything you need right now. You are expressing your needs with a frame of reference of tools of the past. We can do better, nothing you mention is unfeasible via a visual user interface. Again Sparkle isn’t dead and we’re moving ahead at high speed.
Again we can’t support adding arbitrary code anywhere, because whatever you’re latching on to might not exist in a later version of Sparkle, for example a div might not be there anymore, and we don’t want to break documents as we move forward. It’s a can of worms that once opened can’t be re-canned.
The point about performance isn’t whether in absolute terms a page is fast or slow, rather whether given the design you added code that pushes a page off the fast path. In fact probably no page on the web would need more than a fraction of a second to first render in a modern browser, given appropriate server side conditions that are entirely in control of who builds a website. Google page speed has all the details on this, say https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.durangoheritage.org%2Factivities.html
Anyway I’m not sure whether you have given Sparkle a try, but it does have built in image gallery (based on slick.js), image and video lightbox (magnific popup), HTML5 video player (plyr.io http://plyr.io/), stick to top, anchors with smooth scrolling, scroll animations (animate.css), contact forms, youtube/vimeo/maps/twitter/facebook. All in one integrated, tidy package.
