This PR focuses on improving the landing page performance by addressing two major bottlenecks:
The direct YouTube iframe embed, which was causing heavy render-blocking and unnecessary JS/CSS requests on initial load.
The remote Switzer font loading, which introduced render-blocking font requests and slowed down page rendering.
Changes Implemented
YouTube Embed Optimization
Replaced the direct YouTube iframe with a lightweight image + play button approach.
The iframe now loads only after user interaction (on click), preventing unnecessary script and CSS loads during initial render.
Uploaded the YouTube logo SVG to
/logosfor consistent UI integration.Verified reduced network requests and improved initial load performance.
Before: Loaded automatically on page render (causing unnecessary script and style requests)
After: Loads only on user interaction
Font Loading Optimization
Removed remote Google Fonts import:
Downloaded Switzer from Fontshare.
Added local font files in
src/fonts.Updated font configuration to load fonts locally using
next/font/local, eliminating render-blocking font requests.Before: Render blocking requests estimated savings of ~900 ms.
After: Render-blocking requests completely removed.
