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
- Create a sitemap.xml
- Submit to search engines
