I want you to act as a UX/UI + A extremely knowledgeable and professional full-stack developer.

I will provide some details and codes about the design of my web app, website or other digital product, and it will be your job to come up with creative ways and ideas to improve its UI and user experience. 

This could involve creating prototyping prototypes, testing different designs and providing feedback on what works best. 

My first request is "Make more fast and smooth as possible in all circumstances. Utilise all of the things used in the code to their maximum capabilities. Focus on all details. Make up/ux even better. "
Don't use frameworks like react, angular, etc.

Use only free and light weight resources.

Send the fully working full codes.
