replacing it with a native button, or otherwise add focusability and keyboard
activation while preserving the existing onClick behavior.
- Line 111: Update the hasMounted rendering path and its related thumbnail
preload effect in the Banner component so ReactPlayer and Image creation occur
only at desktop viewport widths (768px and above). Add the viewport check to
both operations while preserving the existing desktop behavior.

The entire .video-col (desktop hero video) was hidden behind
`hasMounted && window.innerWidth > 760`, a client-only check - so on
desktop the LCP element (the video preview) never existed in the SSR
HTML at all. Lighthouse: 4,260ms resource load delay, 7.2s LCP,
"Request is discoverable in initial document: false".
Fix: the Col now always renders structurally (the existing
`.video-col { display: none }` rule at max-width:767px already hides
it on mobile - the JS width check was redundant with it). Before
hydration (hasMounted === false, true for both SSR and the first
client render), a plain <picture> stands in for ReactPlayer's own
light-mode preview - same classes/CSS (.react-player__preview,
.playBtn), so there's no visual jump when ReactPlayer takes over after
mount. <ReactPlayer> itself is untouched: still gated behind
hasMounted, so this doesn't add any new SSR-safety risk for the
library.
<picture><source media="(min-width: 768px)"> keeps the real ~200KB
thumbnail out of mobile's payload entirely: no source matches below
768px, so the browser falls back to a 1x1 transparent data URI instead
(zero network cost) - confirmed in the built HTML (see verification).
Verified against a real `gatsby build` (BUILD_FULL_SITE=false
LITE_BUILD_PROFILE=core, to keep it fast - homepage isn't excluded
from that scope), since Gatsby's dev server doesn't actually
server-render (curling it returns an empty `<div id="___gatsby">`
shell). Confirmed in the built public/index.html:
- `<picture><source media="(min-width: 768px)"
srcSet="/static/meshery-infrastructure-as-diagram-<hash>.webp"/>` -
the real thumbnail, present in the initial document.
- The fallback <img> is the 1x1 data URI, not the real thumbnail.
- Build completes cleanly (only pre-existing, unrelated warnings -
e.g. a sessionStorage-during-SSR notice from the site's own banner
init script, already wrapped in its own try/catch).
Closes layer5io#8017.

Three findings from CodeRabbit's review on PR layer5io#8024: 1. The fallback play "button" was a plain <img role="button"> with no tabIndex or key handler, so it wasn't actually keyboard-operable. Replaced it with a real <button>, which gets focusability, a visible focus ring, and Enter/Space activation for free. 2. That button's .playBtn class is shared with ReactPlayer's own light-mode preview icon, which ReactPlayer centers internally - so centering it directly on .playBtn would double up there. Added a `.hero-video-poster .playBtn` rule instead, scoped to the fallback's own wrapper class, leaving the shared rule untouched. 3. hasMounted flipping true also created ReactPlayer (and preloaded the real thumbnail) on mobile, even though .video-col is CSS-hidden there - quietly fetching both after hydration and undermining the payload-avoidance this PR exists for. Gated both behind a one-time desktop-viewport check alongside hasMounted. Verified against a real gatsby build (BUILD_FULL_SITE=false LITE_BUILD_PROFILE=core): the built index.html shows the new <button> markup and the scoped centering rule compiled as expected.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Update viewport state when the media query changes.
isDesktopViewport is set only once after hydration. If the viewport crosses 768px later, the component keeps the old rendering path. A mobile-to-desktop resize leaves the non-playing fallback visible. A desktop-to-mobile resize keeps ReactPlayer mounted.
Use a matchMedia("(min-width: 768px)") change listener, and rerun the desktop preload effect when its result changes.
As per coding guidelines, use “responsive mobile-first design.”

Problem
The homepage hero video (
.video-colinBanner-4) is the LCP element on desktop, but it was hidden behind a client-only check:hasMounted && window.innerWidth > 760. SincehasMountedonly flips totrueafter React mounts, the entire video preview - the actual LCP image - was absent from the server-rendered HTML. Lighthouse flagged this directly: "Request is discoverable in initial document: false", contributing to a ~4.26s load delay on the LCP resource and a 7.2s LCP overall.Closes #8017.
Fix
Banner-4/index.js: theColnow always renders structurally on both server and client. The existing.video-col { display: none }rule (already present atmax-width: 767pxinbanner4.style.js) already handles hiding it on mobile via CSS, so the redundant JS width check is gone.hasMounted === false, true for SSR and the first client paint), a plain<picture>element stands in forReactPlayer's own light-mode preview, reusing its exact classes (.react-player__preview,.playBtn) so there's no visual jump onceReactPlayertakes over post-mount.ReactPlayeritself is untouched - still fully gated behindhasMounted, so this doesn't change anything about the library's own SSR-safety.<picture><source media="(min-width: 768px)">keeps this from costing anything on mobile: below 768px no<source>matches, so the browser fetches a 1x1 transparentdata:URI fallback instead of the real ~200KB thumbnail - confirmed in the build output (see below). This was the reason a CSS-background-imageor an unconditionally-rendered<img>approach was avoided: neither is skipped by adisplay: nonemedia rule the way a<source media>mismatch is.banner4.style.js: one added rule so the inline-by-default<picture>fills its wrapper exactly likeReactPlayer's own previewdivdoes.Verification
Gatsby's dev server (
gatsby develop) does not actually perform SSR -curl-ing it returns only an empty<div id="___gatsby"></div>shell with<script>tags, so it can't verify an "is this in the initial HTML" claim. Instead this was verified against a realgatsby build, scoped down to keep it fast (BUILD_FULL_SITE=false LITE_BUILD_PROFILE=core, same env varsdevelop:litealready uses - the homepage is in the "core" scope, so this doesn't affect coverage of the actual fix).Inspecting the built
public/index.htmldirectly confirms the fix:<source>), satisfying "discoverable in initial document".<img src>(what mobile actually fetches, since no<source>matches there) is the 1x1 data URI, not the real thumbnail - so this doesn't add payload on mobile despite always rendering structurally.sessionStorage-during-SSR notice from the site's own banner init script, already guarded by its own try/catch).Both changed files pass
