## Monitoring & Analytics (Optional)

### Add Google Analytics

```html
<!-- Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=GA_MEASUREMENT_ID"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());
  gtag('config', 'GA_MEASUREMENT_ID');
</script>
```

### Add Plausible Analytics (Privacy-Friendly)

```html
<!-- Plausible Analytics -->
<script defer data-domain="yourdomain.com" src="https://plausible.io/js/script.js"></script>
```

---

## Custom Domain Setup (GitHub Pages)

### 1. Add CNAME File

Create `public/CNAME` with your domain:

```
plugins.yourdomain.com
```

### 2. Update DNS Records

Add these DNS records with your domain provider:

```
Type: CNAME
Name: plugins
Value: jeremylongshore.github.io
```

### 3. Update astro.config.mjs

```javascript
export default defineConfig({
  site: 'https://plugins.yourdomain.com',
  base: '/',
  // ... rest of config
});
```

### 4. Rebuild and Deploy

```bash
npm run build
git add .
git commit -m "feat: add custom domain"
git push origin main
```

---

## Troubleshooting

### Build Fails

```bash
# Clear node_modules and reinstall
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install
npm run build
```

### Assets Not Loading

Check `astro.config.mjs` - ensure `base` path matches your deployment:

```javascript
base: '/claude-code-plugins',  // For GitHub Pages subdirectory
// OR
base: '/',  // For root domain
```

### Search Not Working

Ensure JavaScript is enabled in browser. Check browser console for errors:

```bash
# Open browser DevTools (F12)
# Check Console tab for errors
```

### Styles Not Applied

Clear browser cache:
- Chrome: Ctrl+Shift+R (hard refresh)
- Firefox: Ctrl+Shift+Delete (clear cache)
- Safari: Cmd+Option+E (clear cache)

---

## Rollback Procedure

If deployment has issues:

```bash
# Revert to previous commit
git revert HEAD
git push origin main

# Or reset to specific commit
git reset --hard <commit-hash>
git push origin main --force
```

---

## Maintenance

### Update Plugin Count

When adding new plugins, update these files:

1. `src/components/Hero.astro` - Update stats
2. `src/pages/index.astro` - Automatically updates from content
3. `README.md` - Update plugin count

### Add New Category

1. Update `src/content/config.ts` - Add to category enum
