Performance Improvements
Build Time Optimization
| Metric | Before | After | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build Time | 17.51s | 7.07s | 59% faster |
| Excluded Patterns | "internal/**/*" |
"internal/*" |
Fixed glob pattern |
Root Cause: Incorrect mkdocs-exclude glob pattern
Solution: Changed to "internal/*" pattern (verified working)
Image Optimization
| Format | Browser Support | File Size | Loading Speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| AVIF | 70%+ (modern) | Smallest | Fastest |
| WebP | 95%+ (fallback) | 30-60% smaller | Fast |
| JPG | 100% (universal) | Baseline | Standard |
Strategy: Progressive enhancement with <picture> element
Developer Experience
| Aspect | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Commands | 1 (serve only) | 5 (serve, build, clean, status, help) |
