Security Features

Session Management: Automatic timeout and secure cookies
Input Validation: Comprehensive input sanitization
CSRF Protection: Cross-site request forgery prevention
XSS Protection: Cross-site scripting mitigation
Rate Limiting: API request throttling

📈 Performance Optimization

Frontend Optimization

Code Splitting: Lazy loading of components
Bundle Analysis: Webpack bundle analyzer
Image Optimization: Compressed and responsive images
Caching: Browser and CDN caching strategies
