Recruiters spend an average of 6 seconds on a resume. Your portfolio has to grab their attention instantly. It isn't about how many flashy animations you have; it's about how quickly you can prove your competence.
01. The "Rule of Three"
Don't overwhelm visitors. Showcase only your top 3 projects. Each project should solve a different problem (e.g., one for UI, one for Logic, one for API integration).
02. Optimize for Performance
If your site doesn't load in under 2 seconds, you've already lost the lead.
- Check: Run your site through PageSpeed Insights and aim for a 90+ score.
03. Write Case Studies
Don't just provide a link. Explain the Why.
