File system based routing (Vite only)

You don't need to add route manually. Put your views/ into pages/ it will generate for you.

1. /pages/foo/index.vue will generate path /foo
2. /pages/home/index.vue will generate path /

You must use import.meta.glob or import.meta.globEager to achieve this. Check out https://vitejs.dev/guide/features.html#glob-import

Tips on Improving Google Lighthouse score

1. Suitable image size/resolution

   Do not use ridiculously large image (4000 x 3000 px), it takes up a lot of bandwidth and slows down your website. For example, you can use an image with size of 1920x1080 or 1600x900 as your hero image.

   Cropping your image using image editing tool, we are not talking about resize property in CSS here.

   Some common image formats that you can use are JPG, PNG, GIF, SVG or even WebP

2. Development and Production build

   Take webpack as an example, the goals of development and production builds differ greatly. In development, we want strong source mapping and a localhost server with live reloading or hot module replacement. In production, our goals shift to a focus on minified bundles, lighter weight source maps, and optimized assets to improve load time.

3. Purge unused CSS

   With tool like PurgeCSS, you can remove unused CSS from your project. When you are building a website, chances are that you are using a css framework like Bootstrap, Materializecss, Foundation, etc... But you will only use a small set of the framework and a lot of unused css styles will be included.

   This is where PurgeCSS comes into play. PurgeCSS analyzes your content and your css files. Then it matches the selectors used in your files with the one in your content files. It removes unused selectors from your css, resulting in smaller css files.

   Or, you are using a UI framework in your project such as Material UI, how to minimize bundle size might be a good read.

   You can do similar thing on your js module. Tree shaking, a term commonly used in the JavaScript context for dead-code elimination.

4. Minify Resources/Use minified assets

   Take Bootstrap as an example, common libraries or JavaScript plugins often offer a few version of source code, including compiled and minified CSS and JS(bootstrap.min.*). The minified CSS and JS files have smaller file size.
