The data-URI logo still had LCP ~5s with zero network request, proving the
bottleneck is render delay (JS), not the image. So:
- page.tsx is now a Server Component. The hero, tagline, buttons, ServicesPreview,
PortfolioGrid, and FounderSignature render as static server HTML (they had no
client features, so they now hydrate to nothing).
- Splash state machine + header/nav/background gating + nebula position + scroll
restoration moved into a small client island (home-shell.tsx) that takes the
static content as children. Nebula reads the title via getElementById.
- Dedupe @types/react to 19 across the workspace (pnpm override) so the
server->client children boundary type-checks.
- The high-priority <link rel=preload as=image> stole bandwidth from render-
blocking CSS on 4G, pushing FCP 1.1s -> 2.2s and the score 82 -> 70. Removed.
- TBT is ~30ms (not main-thread bound), so the FCP->LCP gap was the logo's
network fetch. Inline the mark as a data URI: zero request, paints with FCP.
LCP should drop toward FCP and stop swinging run-to-run.
- Logo is a plain <img fetchPriority=high> in a plain div (no framer-motion,
no drop-shadow filter) so it is a clean, statically-painted LCP candidate.
Water filter + a CSS zoom apply only on enter.
- Tracer target nudged to computerX/Y +1.5 (between the low-right +2.5 and the
high-left +0.5).
- Inline <svg> is not an LCP candidate; on mobile the tagline is hidden so the
logo was the only large element -> NO_LCP. Serve the mark as
/images/branding/splash-such.svg and render it via <img> (a valid LCP
candidate, painted from SSR HTML).
- Transition: start the cross-fade on click (shimmer plays as the splash fades
into the content) and shorten durations 1.2s -> 0.8s; snappier and blended.
- Tracer target back to the midpoint (computerX+0.5, computerY+0.5).
- Drop the two animated glow rings: stroke-dashoffset is non-composited, so
they repainted every frame next to the logo and prevented Lighthouse from
settling on an LCP (mobile NO_LCP). The static box + pulsing glow remain.
- Splash now cross-fades into the content: on enter it becomes a fixed overlay
and fades opacity to 0 over the revealed page, instead of a hard cut.
- Nebula tracer target moved up-and-left (computerX-1, computerY-1.5) so the
streamers converge on the monitor screen, not below-right of it.
- Removed the now-unused splash-* keyframes.
- Revert the nebula density/parallax change that disturbed the carefully
tuned streamer convergence (it gave no perf benefit; the nebula is behind
the splash and not in the load trace).
- Logo is now fully static (no float/breath) so it's a stable LCP candidate
on mobile; the rings, glow pulse, and staged button fade-ins still carry
the motion. (Desktop TBT win from the framer->CSS conversion is retained.)
- The splash's always-on animations (logo float/breath, the two traveling
glow rings) move from framer-motion (JS rAF every frame on the main thread)
to CSS keyframes (browser/compositor). framer now only drives the one-shot
click-to-enter water exit.
- Nebula: density 8 -> 4 and dropped the scroll parallax (the Forced-reflow
source); reduced-motion still gets the static background.
The logo stays painted at first render (LCP-safe); the tagline, corner
buttons, and Explore hint now stagger-fade in via Tailwind animate-in
(CSS/compositor, no JS main-thread cost). motion-safe only.
The splash logo (the LCP element) started at opacity:0 and only faded in
after framer-motion hydrated, pushing mobile LCP to ~7s. Render it visible
immediately; the float/breath animations still layer on top.
- /contact redirects straight to the home contact form; product CTAs that
pointed at the broken /about#contact now use /contact.
- Bento: custom e-commerce (Occupy Wallets) top-left, Smirk Wallet top-right,
Wownerogue + Neroswap in the middle row; 'art brand' -> 'artist'.
Drop the expanding circles. Clicking the logo now runs an SVG
feTurbulence + feDisplacementMap filter over the mark, ramped by a rAF
loop, so it ripples like a disturbed liquid surface and settles, with a
soft Cherenkov wash + backdrop blur, then enters. Reduced-motion still
enters instantly.
- Hide the cover tagline and subheader on mobile (logo + corner icons carry
it); only the labeled pills/tagline show at sm+.
- On enter, fade the logo, tagline, buttons, and Explore cue out while the
click-triggered wave plays.
- Waterier transition: backdrop-blur wash plus four expanding Cherenkov
ripples; reduced-motion still enters instantly.
- Mobile: corner nav buttons become icon-only (Portfolio/Apps/Services/About)
with aria-labels; subheader hidden on mobile so nothing overlaps the logo.
- More ambient motion: logo float plus a second counter-rotating glow ring.
- Clicking the logo (or Explore) triggers a Cherenkov wave (wash + expanding
rings) before entering; reduced-motion enters instantly.
- Beveled glass buttons.
- Splash: full-viewport animated SUCH logo cover with four corner nav
buttons; reveals the site once "entered" (scroll-through or Explore) and
does not resurrect on scroll-up. Original hero restored beneath it
(title-anchored monitor pulse + Cherenkov-blue background).
- Logo: traveling Cherenkov glow ring + gentle letter breath (SVG/Framer,
reduced-motion safe); beveled glass corner buttons.
- Services: new "Nuclear & Radiation Modeling" section + "Consulting"
umbrella (payments, crypto, nuclear), MCNP Google Scholar link, and a
not-a-licensed-PE clarification.
- About/founder bio: LLNL credibility + accessibility, art101.io link.
- Products: add Barns & Neutrons, Alpha Doc, Decay Theory (detail pages,
OG cards, SVG icons); client-side sortable grid with coming-soon at the
bottom. New Neroswap + Custom Websites icons (de-duplicated).
- SEO: game pages added to sitemap.
- Copy: dial back em-dashes to colons/commas/parens on home + services.
- Add FAQPage structured data + visible FAQ sections to Wownerogue, Webshops,
Neroswap, and Services (covers high-intent 'provably fair', 'no-KYC', and
'revenue share' style queries; visible Q&A matches the schema).
- Generate branded 1200x630 OG cards per product and wire them into each
product page's openGraph + twitter (summary_large_image), replacing the
square app icons that previously got cropped in social previews.
- Sitemap: stop stamping every static page with new Date() on each build; use
a single content-update date so freshness signals are not diluted.
- Rewrite title tags + meta descriptions site-wide to front-load search intent
(home, products index, services, apps, support, about, blog, and every product
page); keep brand suffix, fix overlong/truncated descriptions, use colons not
em dashes. Home keeps the visible 'Precision Engineering' hero; only the <title>
changed. De-jargon Webshops away from leading with 'headless'.
- Add reusable JSON-LD helper (JsonLd + breadcrumb/softwareApp/article builders).
WebSite schema site-wide; BreadcrumbList on all product + blog pages;
SoftwareApplication on the apps/games; BlogPosting on posts.
- Cross-link the Monero/Wownero cluster (Neroswap, Smirk, Wownerogue, Such Moon
Launch) and link products to services.
- Data fixes: Vegan IQ corrected to 1,000+ questions with Daily Challenge and
Weekly Quiz (page + index); generalize Support page off a single game.
- New /products/wownerogue page (SEO metadata + VideoGame JSON-LD) and
wownerogue-launch blog post covering the fairness, block-timing, and payout design.
- Drop the retired r/CryptoCurrency and MoonPlace references from the portfolio grid,
products index, and custom-websites page; feature Wownerogue + Neroswap instead.
- Add WownerogueLinks component (live instances + GitHub source) and wire it into MDX.
- Remove now-orphaned r-cryptocurrency and moonplace images; add product page to sitemap.
Visible-name rebrand for the game ahead of Play Store + App Store launch.
