  priority // Above-fold images
  placeholder="blur"
  blurDataURL={blurData}
/>

// Lazy load below-fold images
<Image
  src="/feature.png"
  loading="lazy"
  ...
/>

Critical CSS

// Inline critical styles for above-fold
<head>
  <style dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: criticalCSS }} />
  <link rel="preload" href="/fonts/inter.woff2" as="font" crossOrigin="" />
</head>

  openGraph: {
    title: 'Product Name - Main Benefit',

const trackCTA = (ctaName: string) => {
  gtag('event', 'cta_click', {
    cta_name: ctaName,
    page_location: window.location.href,
  });
};

// Track scroll depth
useEffect(() => {
  const observer = new IntersectionObserver(
    (entries) => {
      entries.forEach((entry) => {
        if (entry.isIntersecting) {
          gtag('event', 'section_viewed', {
            section_name: entry.target.id,
          });
        }
      });
    },
    { threshold: 0.5 }
  );

  document.querySelectorAll('section[id]').forEach((section) => {
    observer.observe(section);
  });
}, []);

A/B Testing Elements

Priority elements to test:

1. Headline copy - Different value propositions
2. CTA text - "Start Free" vs "Get Started" vs "Try Now"
3. CTA color - High contrast options
4. Hero image - Product vs people vs abstract
5. Social proof placement - Above vs below fold
6. Pricing display - Monthly vs annual default
7. Form length - Email only vs full form

Mobile Optimization

// Thumb-friendly CTAs
<Button className="w-full md:w-auto h-14 text-lg">
  Get Started
</Button>

// Sticky mobile CTA
<div className="fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 p-4 bg-white border-t md:hidden">
  <Button className="w-full">Start Free Trial</Button>
</div>

// Reduce content on mobile
<p className="hidden md:block">

</p>
<p className="md:hidden">
  {shortDescription}
</p>
