February 2025: Delivered a robust Vercel-powered frontend prerender pipeline and performance improvements for the codecrafters-io/frontend repo. Implemented Vercel build scripts, ensured redirects precede rewrites, added prerender-user-profile-page for /users/:username, consolidated the Vercel build script, and extended prerender expiration to 86400s. Migrated key routes to dedicated prerender functions (prerender/users/user and prerender/concepts/[concept]), added query-param support and multiple dynamic segments, and updated OG/meta tags for user and concept routes to improve SEO. FastBoot and meta-tag stability were reinforced with fixes to page titles, undefined window.location usage, and blinking; exposed URLSearchParams in the FastBoot sandbox; disabled background model reloading to speed startup; and enabled language loading on the tracks/track route. Added a new replaceAllMetaTags utility, performed config cleanup (removing metaTagUserProfilePictureBaseURL), and implemented maintenance enhancements including alphabetical ordering of rewrites in vercel.json and services in ConceptRoute.
