1. Use Lazy Loading for Assets

Defer loading of non-critical assets like images and videos until they're needed. This reduces initial load time significantly.

2. Optimize Critical Rendering Path

Defer non-critical CSS/JS, inline critical CSS, and minimize render-blocking resources to improve first contentful paint.

Tip: Use async or defer attributes for non-critical scripts

3. Optimize Images

Use modern formats (WebP/AVIF), responsive images, and proper compression. Consider next/image from Next.js or native lazy loading.
