What This Extension Adds
Frontend Optimizer is an Available, Schema-owning Capell package in the Capell Foundation product group. It ships as capell-app/frontend-optimizer and extends these surfaces: admin, console, frontend.
Frontend Optimizer speeds up your public Capell site by inlining the exact above-the-fold CSS each layout needs and deferring everything else, so visitors see styled content sooner and your Core Web Vitals improve. Unlike source-scanning tools, it generates critical CSS from your pages as a real browser renders them - Layout Builder content, theme markup, render hooks, and responsive styles all included - across mobile and desktop viewports. Generation runs on your queue, never in the public response, and falls back safely to standard stylesheet delivery until critical CSS exists. Per-layout render profiles mean equivalent pages reuse one optimized result, and page types you don't want to optimize can opt out with a single toggle.
After install, admins get package-owned management surfaces and public users may see package-owned frontend output or routes.

Why It Matters
For developers: The package gives developers package-owned service providers, Actions, Data objects, models, and Filament classes instead of pushing this behaviour into core or application code.
For teams: Faster first paint for public Capell pages: automatic above-the-fold critical CSS extracted from your real rendered pages, plus smart deferring of non-critical CSS and JavaScript.

Data Model
- Models:
FrontendOptimizationRun,FrontendRenderProfile. - Migration files:
2026_05_10_190851_01_create_frontend_optimizer_tables.php. - Migration impact: run host migrations through the package install flow before opening package surfaces.
- Deletion/retention behaviour: Docs gap unless the package has an explicit pruning command, retention setting, or tested cascade path.
Install Impact
- Admin navigation: adds package-owned Filament classes when registered.
- Permissions: none declared in
capell.json. - Public routes: none detected in package route files.
- Database changes: package migrations are declared.
- Settings:
Capell\FrontendOptimizer\Settings\FrontendOptimizerSettings. - Queues or schedules: review package jobs or schedules before install.
- Cache tags:
frontend-optimizer. - Commands:
capell:frontend-optimizer:prune-profiles.
Common Pitfalls
- Run migrations before opening package resources or public routes.
- Configure package settings before testing production-like workflows.
- Keep public Blade and cached HTML free of authoring markers, model IDs, permissions, signed editor URLs, and lazy database queries.
- Run package commands from the host app; in this repository use
vendor/bin/pestfor package tests. - Keep
composer.json,composer.local.json,capell.json, docs, screenshots, and tests aligned when the package surface changes.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely cause | Check | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Package surface is missing after install | Provider or manifest is not loaded | Confirm capell.json, package composer.json, and provider registration |
Reinstall the package, refresh Composer autoload, and clear host caches |
| Admin screen or command fails on missing table | Package migrations have not run | Check the tables listed in Data Model |
Run host migrations and rerun the focused package test |
| Background work does not run | Queue worker or scheduled command is not active | Check package jobs, commands, and host scheduler configuration | Start the queue or scheduler, then run the focused command or package test |
| Public output leaks unexpected state | Render data, cache variation, or authoring boundary has regressed | Check public Blade, cache tags, and public-output safety tests | Move data loading out of Blade and rerun the package public-output tests |
Quick Start
