Obstacles & Solutions
Obstacle 1: Heavy Visual Payload
The Issue: Local restaurant sites rely on mouth-watering images to drive sales, but uploading high-res photos to a single page was crippling the load times, especially for users searching for menus over 4G mobile connections.
The Solution: I implemented aggressive lazy loading and swapped legacy formats for modern `.webp` compression. I explicitly set `decoding="async"` on all below-the-fold content. The result was a drop in First Contentful Paint from 3.2 seconds down to 0.8 seconds.
Obstacle 2: Complex Menu Data Management
The Issue: Menu items change frequently, and hardcoding hundreds of items into HTML makes updates error-prone and tedious for the business owner.
The Solution: I architected the HTML to use clear semantic grouping so styles cascade predictably. This allowed the owner to drop in simple text edits without breaking the complex visual grid holding the prices and descriptions together.
