### 🚀 Optimized WordPress Performance & Page Speed

_Note: NinjaDraw is built with website speed and Core Web Vitals in mind. In the
WordPress admin, the heavy editor engine loads only when needed using smart lazy
loading. On the frontend, your site remains lightning-fast because it only displays
optimized, lightweight SVG files without heavy external scripts, layout shifts, 
or bulky base64 data._

   stay private.

   blocks or shortcodes.
