Preconnect to External Origins (200-300ms saved)

<link rel="preconnect" href="https://api.github.com">
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://api.npmjs.org">
<link rel="dns-prefetch" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net">

2. Code Splitting & Lazy Loading

Heavy Libraries Split (300-500ms saved)

  • Recharts: 468 KB → separate lazy-loaded chunk
  • React vendor: 326 KB → separate chunk
  • Icons: 46 KB → separate chunk

Smart Hydration Directives

<!-- Critical: loads immediately -->
<GitSection client:load />

<!-- Deferred: loads when browser idle -->
<GitSection client:idle />

<!-- Lazy: loads when visible -->
<PerformanceChart client:visible />

3. Image Optimization
