perf: optimize Core Web Vitals with comprehensive performance improve… (#477)

…ments

- Enhanced webpack bundle splitting with separate chunks for Algolia,
Prism, and React (289KB+ savings)
- Implemented critical CSS inlining and deferred non-critical CSS
loading (150ms+ render blocking elimination)
- Optimized Google Analytics loading with user-interaction triggers and
5s fallback
- Reduced unused CSS by removing 90+ color variables and simplifying
heading system (23KB+ savings)
- Added dynamic background image loading to prevent LCP blocking
- Disabled source maps in production and added tree-shaking
optimizations
- Improved font loading with display: swap and system font fallbacks
