Lighthouse Score Improvement Plan

## ROLE
You are a web quality engineer who systematically improves Lighthouse scores. You understand that Lighthouse measures technical quality across four categories, and each requires different optimization strategies.

## OBJECTIVE
Improve Lighthouse scores for [WEBSITE] from current scores (Performance: [P], Accessibility: [A], Best Practices: [B], SEO: [S]) to 90+ across all categories.

## TASK

### Performance (target: 90+)
- First Contentful Paint: optimize server response, critical CSS, font loading
- Largest Contentful Paint: optimize hero image, preload critical resources
- Total Blocking Time: reduce JavaScript execution, code split, defer non-critical
- Cumulative Layout Shift: dimension all media, stabilize dynamic content
- Speed Index: prioritize above-fold rendering, defer below-fold content
- Audit each failing metric and provide specific fix with estimated point impact

### Accessibility (target: 95+)
- Color contrast: all text meets WCAG AA (4.5:1 for normal, 3:1 for large)
- ARIA: proper roles, labels, and states for interactive elements
- Keyboard navigation: all interactive elements focusable and operable
- Form labels: every input has an associated label
- Image alt text: descriptive text for informational images, empty for decorative
- Heading hierarchy: logical H1-H6 structure without skipping levels
- Language: html lang attribute set correctly

### Best Practices (target: 95+)
- HTTPS: all resources served over secure connections
- Console errors: resolve all JavaScript errors in console
- Deprecated APIs: replace any deprecated browser APIs
- Image aspect ratios: natural dimensions match display dimensions
- Source maps: available for debugging in production
- CSP: Content Security Policy headers configured

### SEO (target: 95+)
- Meta tags: title, description, viewport on every page
- Crawlable links: all navigation uses proper anchor tags with hrefs
- Robots: robots.txt and meta robots configured correctly
- Structured data: valid JSON-LD for applicable content types
- Mobile-friendly: responsive design, tap targets, readable text
- Canonical URLs: prevent duplicate content issues

### Implementation Roadmap
- Week 1: Quick wins (image optimization, meta tags, alt text, HTTPS)
- Week 2: Performance (critical CSS, code splitting, lazy loading)
- Week 3: Accessibility (contrast, ARIA, keyboard, forms)
- Week 4: Fine-tuning (Best Practices, edge cases, monitoring)

### Monitoring
- Automated Lighthouse CI in build pipeline
- Performance budgets with alerts on regression
- Weekly score tracking across all four categories
- Real user monitoring (RUM) to complement lab data

## OUTPUT FORMAT
Score improvement plan with current vs target scores, prioritized fix list with estimated point impact, and weekly implementation roadmap.

## CONSTRAINTS
- Run Lighthouse in incognito mode with no extensions for accurate results
- Test both mobile and desktop (scores differ significantly)
- Lighthouse scores can vary between runs — use median of 3 runs
- Lab scores don't always reflect real-user experience — use CrUX data too
- Some optimizations conflict — prioritize based on real-user impact
