My Experience with Performance and SEO

Performance

Performance

It is crucial, especially for server-side rendered (SSR) applications, to be very fast and have good scores in Web Vitals to achieve high rankings on Google. To ensure this, I have worked extensively with both Web Vitals and Google Lighthouse, optimizing various performance metrics such as loading speed, interactivity, and visual stability. Additionally, I have focused on core accessibility (a11y) practices to make applications more inclusive and usable for all users. This includes adhering to WCAG guidelines, using semantic HTML, and ensuring compatibility with screen readers and keyboard navigation.
