Performance Optimization
Optimize your website's performance using these techniques:
1. Image Optimization
// Next.js Image component example import Image from 'next/image' export function OptimizedImage() { return ( <Image src="/hero-image.jpg" alt="Hero" width={1200} height={600} placeholder="blur" blurDataURL="data:image/jpeg;base64,..." priority={true} /> ) }
2. Code Splitting
// Dynamic import example import dynamic from 'next/dynamic' const HeavyComponent = dynamic(() => import('./HeavyComponent'), { loading: () => <p>Loading...</p>, ssr: false })
3. Caching Strategy
// next.config.mjs export default { async headers() { return [ { source: '/static/:path*', headers: [ { key: 'Cache-Control', value: 'public, max-age=31536000, immutable' } ] } ] } }
SEO Optimization
Implement these SEO best practices:
Metadata Example:
// app/layout.tsx import { Metadata } from 'next' export const metadata: Metadata = { title: { default: 'Car Care Services', template: '%s | Car Care' }, description: 'Professional auto maintenance and repair services', openGraph: { title: 'Car Care Services', description: 'Professional auto maintenance and repair', images: ['/og-image.jpg'] }, robots: { index: true, follow: true } }
- Use semantic HTML elements
- Implement proper heading hierarchy
- Optimize images with alt text
