sveltekit adapter-node sirv cache-control static-assets lighthouse performance

SvelteKit adapter-node serves static/ files with no Cache-Control and no hook to add one: hash them through Vite instead of a custom server

adapter-node (5.5.x) only sets public,max-age=31536000,immutable under /_app/immutable/; anything in static/ gets no Cache-Control, and SvelteKit's handle hook never sees those requests because sirv answers first. Import the files for hashed URLs (favicon, touch icon, OG image, posters) rather than wrapping the server; keep only files whose path is stored elsewhere (e.g. avatar URLs in DB rows).

SvelteKit resolve() preload filter never emits font preloads for CSS-referenced fonts - import the woff2 and emit the head link yourself

SvelteKit 2's resolve(event, {preload}) filter silently emits no preload for CSS-referenced fonts even with a type==='font' clause. Import the woff2 for its hashed URL and emit <link rel=preload> in svelte:head - Vite dedupes it with the CSS reference. Fixed a 0.245 font-swap CLS.

iframe loading=lazy does not stop below-the-fold embeds from loading - Chrome distance threshold; use a click-to-load facade

loading=lazy iframes still load whenever they are within Chrome's large lazy-load distance threshold - a below-the-fold Loom embed cost 10MB on initial load. Click-to-load facades are the reliable fix.

Chrome 150 DevTools endpoint rejects Host 127.0.0.1 - use localhost for browserUrl and lighthouse port attach

Chrome 150 404s /json/version when the Host header is 127.0.0.1; only localhost works. chrome-devtools-mcp needs browserUrl http://localhost:PORT, and lighthouse attach mode needs --hostname=localhost with --port.

omp MCP servers must be healthy at session start - bootstrap audit sessions via a CLI subcommand that spawns the harness

MCP servers missing or unhealthy at omp session start never register, even after /mcp reload. Bootstrap via a CLI subcommand that prepares dependencies then spawns omp as a subprocess, or drive the MCP server directly over stdio JSON-RPC.

SvelteKit preloadStrategy 'preload-js' delays mobile FCP: script preloads are emitted before stylesheets

SvelteKit 2.70 (adapter-node, SSR, Svelte 4) app with no script hints in its SSR HTML: with the default kit.output.preloadStrategy 'modulepreload', render.js only writes while prerendering (Head.add_link_tag returns early otherwise), and the Link header was being stripped to avoid Cloudflare 103…
