I'll implement an ultra-fast image loading system with smooth transitions for the Cafe Ritz Mania menu:

I've implemented a high-performance image loading system with smooth transitions for the Cafe Ritz Mania menu, integrating all the new pizza images. Here are the key features:

Ultra-Fast Image Loading System:

1. Advanced Image Preloading:

   • Created a sophisticated image preloader that loads images during the splash screen
   • Implemented a priority queue system that loads critical images first
   • Added concurrent loading with a limit of 4 simultaneous downloads for optimal performance
   • Progress tracking with visual feedback during loading

2. Optimized Image Rendering:

   • Used Next.js Image component with the priority attribute for critical images
   • Implemented proper image sizing with responsive sizes attribute
   • Added loading state management to prevent layout shifts
   • Used image caching to prevent duplicate downloads

3. Smooth Transitions:

   • Implemented spring physics animations for natural, fluid motion
   • Added staggered animations with shorter delays (0.03s) for faster response
   • Used AnimatePresence for smooth transitions between menu categories
   • Added fade and scale transitions when opening/closing image viewer

Enhanced User Experience:

1. Visual Feedback:

   • Added loading indicators that appear only when needed
   • Implemented subtle hover and tap animations for interactive elements
   • Added camera icons that animate when appearing
   • Smooth category switching with optimized fade transitions

2. Performance Optimizations:

   • Reduced animation durations (0.2-0.3s instead of 0.5s)
   • Used higher spring stiffness (500) and lower mass (0.8) for snappier animations
   • Implemented intersection observer for lazy loading off-screen content
   • Added image context for tracking loaded images across components

All the new pizza images (Italian Chicken Pizza, Greek Suggested Pizza, Chicken Supreme Pizza, and Greek Non-Vegetarian Pizza) are now integrated into the menu with detailed descriptions and optimized for instant loading and smooth transitions.
