<li>Initial page load: < 10KB JavaScript</li>
<li>First paint: < 200ms</li>
<li>Full viewer: Loads on-demand</li>
<li>Preview images: Optimized WebP format</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>

<li>Insert the PDF using the Gutenberg block or shortcode</li>
<li>Visitors see an instant preview image</li>
<li>Clicking “View Document” loads the interactive PDF.js viewer</li>
</ol>
<h4>Requirements</h4>

<li>ImageMagick with PDF support (recommended)</li>
<li>Ghostscript</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin will detect available options and use the best method automatically.</p>
<h4>Shortcode Usage</h4>

</ul>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
