🟡 Known Issues & Remaining Work

High Priority 🔴

1. Community Page Performance
   • LCP: 18.2 seconds (should be <2.5s)
   • CLS: 0.407 (should be <0.1)
   • Impact: Users see blank page for 18 seconds
   • Priority: HIGH - needs investigation and profiling

Medium Priority 🟡

2. Total Blocking Time (All Pages)

   • Current: 2,500-2,720ms
   • Target: <300ms
   • Solution: Code splitting, lazy loading, defer non-critical JS

3. 3G Speed Index

   • Landing page: 8.5s on 3G (should be <4s)
   • Solution: Progressive enhancement, loading states

Remaining Tasks ⏳

4. Week 3 Tasks (2 remaining)
   • Test keyboard navigation on all pages
   • Add aria-labels and run axe audit

🎓 Lessons Learned

What Went Well

✅ Phase 1-5 completed successfully in one go ✅ i18n working perfectly across entire site ✅ Load More pagination implemented correctly ✅ CI/CD pipeline working (auto-deploy on push to main) ✅ Git SSH authentication configured

What Could Be Improved

⚠️ Need better error handling in some components ⚠️ Missing loading states in several places ⚠️ Test coverage should be higher ⚠️ Performance not yet measured ⚠️ Should add more code comments

What to Watch Out For

🚨 Cursor AI can break things - always review changes 🚨 Server Components need locale parameter passed explicitly 🚨 API responses need consistent format (array vs object) 🚨 Rate limiting requires Redis in production 🚨 Email requires Resend API key
