Vercel Deployment explained

Vercel who?

Vercel is designed to increase developer efficiency. Allowing teams to develop, preview and ship static sites on the fly. Built with performance in mind, Vercel deploys instantly and scales automatically.

Vercel Quickstart

Vercel developed their own CLI, however I found it easier to use their website. You'll want to start by creating your own account or by signing up through GitHub.

After you have created an account, create a new project.
New Project Button
Then, connect Vercel to your GitHub account and import the repository you'd like to deploy.
Import repo
In this guide, I forked my repo from here. Also, feel free to view my repo

The best way to debug slow web pages

Tools like Page Speed Insights and Google Lighthouse are great for providing advice for front end performance issues. But what these tools can’t do, is evaluate performance across your entire stack of distributed services and applications.
