Summary

This PR implements performance optimizations through code splitting, enhances SEO with structured data and meta tags, simplifies the contact section to focus on booking CTAs, and establishes a source-of-truth document for business details.

Key Changes

Performance & Architecture

• Code splitting: Converted 40+ page and service components to lazy-loaded routes using React.lazy() and Suspense, keeping only HomePage and BookingPage eagerly loaded
• Import path simplification: Updated jsconfig.json to use baseUrl: "src" instead of path aliases, reducing import complexity across 50+ UI component files
• Dependency addition: Added react-helmet-async for server-safe SEO meta tag management

SEO Improvements

• PageMeta component: Created reusable component for consistent title, description, canonical URL, and og: tag management
• Structured data: Added FAQ schema (FAQPage with Question/Answer entities) to FAQ page
• Meta tags: Enhanced index.html with og:image, og:image:width/height, og:image:alt for social sharing
• Sitemap refresh: Updated all lastmod dates to 2026-03-10 and reorganized sections (removed Matakana destination pages, added Northern Towns section with Warkworth, Wellsford, Leigh, Omaha, Puhoi, Snells Beach)

UX & Content Changes

• Contact section redesign: Removed contact form entirely; replaced with booking CTA button, phone link (021 743 321), and contact info cards (email, address, hours)
• Booking focus: Simplified messaging from "Get In Touch" to "Ready to Book Your Ride?" with 24/7 availability emphasis
• Image optimization: Added loading="lazy" to Fleet and Testimonials images for performance

Backend & Configuration

• Stripe webhook security: Removed fallback unsigned webhook parsing; now requires STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET to be set
• Email configuration: Updated .env.example to clarify sender email is noreply@bookaride.co.nz
• Documentation: Added CLAUDE.md as source-of-truth for business details (phone, emails, service area, tech stack, rules for AI sessions)

Page Updates

• HomePage and BookingPage now include PageMeta component for SEO
• FAQ page enhanced with structured data and improved meta tags

Implementation Notes

• All lazy-loaded routes wrapped in Suspense (no fallback UI specified—consider adding loading state if needed)
• Import path changes are mechanical and non-functional
• Contact form removal is intentional; booking is now the primary conversion path
• Sitemap reorganization reflects updated service area focus
