Key Achievements
Technical Implementation Highlights
Performance Optimization with Next.js Image
Implemented optimized image loading with automatic WebP conversion and responsive sizing.
// Optimized image component
import Image from 'next/image'
export function OptimizedImage({ src, alt, ...props }) {
return (
<Image
src={src}
alt={alt}
width={800}
height={600}
priority={false}
placeholder="blur"
blurDataURL="data:image/jpeg;base64,..."
sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 50vw"
{...props}
/>
)
}Custom Hook for Performance Monitoring
Created a custom hook to monitor Core Web Vitals and user interactions.
// Performance monitoring hook
import { useEffect } from 'react'
export function usePerformanceMonitoring() {
useEffect(() => {
if (typeof window !== 'undefined' && 'web-vital' in window) {
getCLS(console.log)
getFID(console.log)
getFCP(console.log)
getLCP(console.log)
getTTFB(console.log)
}
}, [])
