Deployment Instructions

Prerequisites

• Web server (Apache, Nginx, etc.) or static site hosting service
• HTTPS certificate for secure connections (recommended)

Deployment Steps

1. Prepare the production files

   • Use the minified files in the dist directory for production deployment
   • Ensure all image assets are properly optimized

2. Upload to web server

   # Example using rsync
   rsync -avz --delete dist/ username@your-server:/path/to/www/

3. Configure server settings

   • Set up proper caching headers:

     # Apache (.htaccess)
     <IfModule mod_expires.c>
       ExpiresActive On
       ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 year"
       ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 year"
       ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 year"
       ExpiresByType image/svg+xml "access plus 1 year"
       ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 month"
       ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 1 month"
       ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 month"
     </IfModule>
     

   • Enable GZIP compression:

     # Apache (.htaccess)
     <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
       AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/javascript application/json
     </IfModule>
     

4. Test the deployed website

   • Verify all links work correctly
   • Test on multiple browsers and devices
   • Run performance tests using Lighthouse
