2. **Configure server** for Gzip compression:
```nginx
# Nginx example
gzip on;
gzip_types text/css application/javascript application/json;
location ~* \.(js|css|png|ico)$ {
expires 30d;
add_header Cache-Control "public, immutable";
}
```
3. **Enable HTTPS** (required for PWA features)
4. **Update manifest.json** with your domain
