Web performance

Overview

A fast storefront converts more visitors into customers. Katura is built with performance as a priority — here's how it stays fast and what you can do to keep it that way.

Performance architecture

• Next.js — automatic code splitting, server-side rendering, and static generation
• Vercel Edge Network — your store is served from the closest edge location to each visitor
• Optimized images — automatic WebP conversion, responsive sizes, and lazy loading via next/image
• Font optimization — Google Fonts loaded with next/font for zero layout shift

Performance tips

• Optimize product images before uploading (aim for under 500KB each)
• Limit the number of images per product to 5–8 for faster page loads
• Use descriptive alt text on all images (good for SEO too)
• Keep your product descriptions concise — long descriptions slow down rendering

Monitoring performance

Katura uses Sentry for performance monitoring. View Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS) in your Sentry dashboard to track real-user performance over time.
