## 🛠️ Implementation Guide

### Basic Setup

```php
// Initialize performance system
$cacheManager = CacheManager::getInstance();
$memoryManager = MemoryManager::getInstance();
$queryOptimizer = new QueryOptimizer($cacheManager);
$responseOptimizer = new ResponseOptimizer($cacheManager);

// Start performance tracking
$performanceTracker = new PerformanceTracker(
    $cacheManager,
    $queryOptimizer, 
    $memoryManager,
    $responseOptimizer
);

$sessionId = $performanceTracker->startMonitoring('unique_session');
```

### Advanced Configuration

```php
// Get optimized configuration
$config = PerformanceConfig::getInstance();

// Customize for environment
$cacheConfig = $config->getOptimizedConfig('cache');
$memoryConfig = $config->getOptimizedConfig('memory');

// Check server capabilities
if ($config->hasCapability('redis')) {
    // Enable distributed caching
    $cacheManager->enableDistributedCache();
}

// Set performance targets
$targets = $config->getPerformanceTargets();
```

### WordPress Integration

```php
// Hook into WordPress lifecycle
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', function() {
    $cssService->injectCriticalCss($restrictions);
}, 1);

add_action('wp_ajax_*', function() {
    $responseOptimizer->optimizeResponse($_POST);
}, 1);

add_action('shutdown', function() {
    $memoryManager->performCleanup();
}, 999);
```

$cacheManager->registerInvalidationRule('custom_rule', [
    'triggers' => ['doctor_update', 'service_change'],
    'targets' => ['appointment_data', 'booking_form'],
    'delay' => 1000 // 1 second delay
]);

// Custom memory cleanup tasks
$memoryManager->registerCleanupTask(function() {
    // Custom cleanup logic
}, ['priority' => 5, 'frequency' => 'shutdown']);
```

### Environment-Specific Tuning

```php
// Production optimizations
if (PerformanceConfig::getInstance()->isProductionEnvironment()) {
    $config->set('cache.levels.L2.ttl', 86400 * 7); // 7 days
    $config->set('monitoring.sample_rate', 0.1); // 10% sampling
}

// Development optimizations  
else {
    $config->set('cache.levels.L2.ttl', 300); // 5 minutes
    $config->set('monitoring.sample_rate', 1.0); // 100% monitoring
}
```
