Cresta 31 PageSpeed patch — 15 October 2026

Based on website(3).zip supplied earlier (not on your subsequent local edits).

Changes:
- Both frontend view paths: remove render-blocking Google Fonts and use local system/Georgia fonts; preload CSS hero image at high priority; main landmark; contrast and focus improvements; accurate image dimensions.
- 11 gallery thumbnails: cropped/resized to 320x240, re-encoded as WebP.
- Separate 640x480 intro image so full-size gallery photo-02 remains untouched.

Apply in local repo, review diffs before commit:
  unzip -o Cresta31_pagespeed_fix.zip -d /Volumes/Developer/Applications/CostalEscape/website
  php artisan view:clear

Notes:
- Lighthouse LCP hero is CSS background. Preload ensures early discovery without restructuring the hero.
- Cloudflare beacon script is injected by Cloudflare Web Analytics / Browser Insights, not by these Blade files. Disable it in Cloudflare if you do not need it.
- Run Lighthouse again after deployment. Performance scores vary and are not guaranteed.
- If local frontend templates were changed after website(3).zip, merge changes instead of overwriting them.
