Instructions

# Web Performance Audit

Conduct comprehensive performance audits and implement optimizations.

## Core Web Vitals Targets

| Metric | Good | Needs Improvement | Poor |
|--------|------|-------------------|------|
| LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) | <2.5s | 2.5-4s | >4s |
| FID (First Input Delay) | <100ms | 100-300ms | >300ms |
| CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) | <0.1 | 0.1-0.25 | >0.25 |
| INP (Interaction to Next Paint) | <200ms | 200-500ms | >500ms |

## Performance Measurement

```javascript
// Using web-vitals library
import { getCLS, getFID, getLCP, getTTFB } from 'web-vitals';

function sendToAnalytics({ name, value, id }) {
  console.log({ name, value, id });
}

getCLS(sendToAnalytics);
getFID(sendToAnalytics);
getLCP(sendToAnalytics);
getTTFB(sendToAnalytics);
```

## Lighthouse Automation

```javascript
const lighthouse = require('lighthouse');
const chromeLauncher = require('chrome-launcher');

async function runAudit(url) {
  const chrome = await chromeLauncher.launch({ chromeFlags: ['--headless'] });
  const result = await lighthouse(url, {
    port: chrome.port,
    onlyCategories: ['performance']
  });

  await chrome.kill();
  return result.lhr;
}
```

## Optimization Strategies

### Quick Wins (1-2 days)
- Enable gzip/brotli compression
- Minify CSS/JS
- Defer non-critical scripts
- Optimize images (WebP, lazy loading)

### Medium Effort (1-2 weeks)
- Implement code splitting
- Add service worker caching
- Preload critical resources
- Eliminate render-blocking resources

### Long-term (1-3 months)
- Architecture improvements
- CDN optimization
- Database query optimization

## Performance Budget

```json
{
  "timings": [
    { "metric": "first-contentful-paint", "budget": 1500 },
    { "metric": "largest-contentful-paint", "budget": 2500 }
  ],
  "resourceSizes": [
    { "resourceType": "script", "budget": 150 },
    { "resourceType": "image", "budget": 300 }
  ]
}
```
