    }
  ]
}

Site Speed Optimization

Page speed is critical for both user experience and SEO. Google prefers fast sites.

Image Optimization

import Image from 'next/image';

// Automatic optimization with Next.js Image component
<Image
  src="/products/nike-air-max-270.jpg"
  alt="Nike Air Max 270 Black Men's Running Shoes"
  width={800}
  height={800}
  quality={85}
  loading="lazy"
  placeholder="blur"
  blurDataURL="/products/nike-air-max-270-blur.jpg"
/>

Code Splitting

// Code splitting with dynamic import
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic';

const ProductReviews = dynamic(() => import('./ProductReviews'), {
  loading: () => <ReviewsSkeleton />,
  ssr: false // Optional: disable SSR
});

export default function ProductPage() {
  return (
    <div>
      <ProductInfo />
      <ProductReviews />
    </div>
  );
}

Caching Strategy

// next.config.js
module.exports = {
  async headers() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/images/:path*',
        headers: [
          {
            key: 'Cache-Control',
            value: 'public, max-age=31536000, immutable',
          },
        ],
      },
      {
        source: '/api/products/:path*',
        headers: [
          {
            key: 'Cache-Control',
            value: 'public, s-maxage=60, stale-while-revalidate=300',
          },
        ],
      },
    ];
  },
};

Quality content is the most effective way to increase organic traffic.
