    ⚠️ Small text: 14px may be hard to read on mobile. Consider 16px+.

    ⚠️ Weak hierarchy: Headlines should be at least 2x body size for clear visual structure.

    ✅ Excellent performance: System fonts eliminate font loading delays (better LCP).

    ✅ Smart font loading: Using font-display: swap prevents invisible text during load.

    ⚠️ Cramped layout: 58 elements lack adequate spacing.

    ✅ Clean layout: Consistent left alignment throughout.
