+# Answers to technical questions
+
+## How long did you spend on the coding test?
+I spent about 5 hours building the app, including the PHP CRUD admin panel, frontend slider layout, and database schema.
+
+If I had more time, I would add:
+- authentication and authorization for the admin panel
+- better CRUD UX with a success message that disappears automatically
+- edge case handling for many slides, especially to prevent the slider dots from distorting
+- a cleaner admin UI
+- real image upload support instead of fixed image paths
+- improved keyboard navigation and screen reader support
+- animation and swipe support for the slider on mobile devices
+- I have used constants and constant arrays in a few places for simplicity. In a larger production application, this logic would likely be abstracted into more modular and configurable structures. However, given the scope of the assignment, I chose a simpler implementation approach to avoid adding unnecessary complexity and development overhead without much practical benefit.
+
+## How would you track down a performance issue in production?
+I would first identify which page or user flow is slow. Then I would check logs, review slow database queries, and inspect the page for large files or extra requests. I would confirm that the SQL queries use the right indexes and look for frontend issues like large images or unused scripts.
+
+If needed, I would add logging or profiling around database calls to see whether the issue is backend, frontend, or network related. After that, I would use caching, pagination, or asset optimization depending on the root cause.
