-  const data = await fetchData();
-  
-  return {
-    props: { data },
-    metadata: {
-      title: "Home Page",
-      description: "Welcome to Loly",
-    },
-  };
-};
-```
-
-```tsx
-// app/page.tsx
-import { usePageProps } from "@lolyjs/core/hooks";
-
-export default function Home() {
-  const { props } = usePageProps();
-  return <h1>{props.data}</h1>;
-}
-```
-
-### Start Development Server
-
-```bash
-npx loly dev
-# Server runs on http://localhost:3000
-```
-
----
-
-## Key Features
-
-### 🔌 Native WebSocket Support
-
-Loly includes built-in WebSocket support with automatic namespace routing. Define WebSocket events using the same file-based routing pattern as pages and APIs:
-
-```tsx
-// app/wss/chat/events.ts
-import type { WssContext } from "@lolyjs/core";
-
-export const events = [
-  {
-    name: "connection",
-    handler: (ctx: WssContext) => {
-      console.log("Client connected:", ctx.socket.id);
-    },
-  },
-  {
-    name: "message",
-    handler: (ctx: WssContext) => {
-      const { data, actions } = ctx;
-      // Broadcast to all clients
-      actions.broadcast("message", {
-        text: data.text,
-        from: ctx.socket.id,
-      });
-    },
-  },
-];
-```
-
-**Client-side:**
-
-```tsx
-import { lolySocket } from "@lolyjs/core/sockets";
-
-const socket = lolySocket("/chat");
-
-socket.on("message", (data) => {
-  console.log("Received:", data);
-});
-
-socket.emit("message", { text: "Hello!" });
-```
-
-**Key Benefits:**
-- Automatic namespace creation from file structure
-- Same routing pattern as pages and APIs
-- Built-in broadcasting helpers (`emit`, `broadcast`, `emitTo`, `emitToClient`)
-- No manual configuration required
-
-### 🎯 Route-Level Middlewares
-
-Define middlewares directly in your routes for fine-grained control:
-
-**For Pages:**
-
-```tsx
-// app/dashboard/server.hook.ts
-import type { RouteMiddleware, ServerLoader } from "@lolyjs/core";
-
-export const beforeServerData: RouteMiddleware[] = [
-  async (ctx, next) => {
-    // Authentication
-    const token = ctx.req.headers.authorization;
-    if (!token) {
-      ctx.res.status(401).json({ error: "Unauthorized" });
-      return;
-    }
-    ctx.locals.user = await verifyToken(token);
-    await next();
-  },
-];
-
-export const getServerSideProps: ServerLoader = async (ctx) => {
-  const user = ctx.locals.user; // Available from middleware
-  return { props: { user } };
-};
-```
-
-**For API Routes:**
-
-```tsx
-// app/api/protected/route.ts
-import type { ApiMiddleware, ApiContext } from "@lolyjs/core";
-
-// Global middleware for all methods
-export const beforeApi: ApiMiddleware[] = [
-  async (ctx, next) => {
-    // Authentication
-    const user = await verifyUser(ctx.req);
-    ctx.locals.user = user;
-    await next();
-  },
-];
-
-// Method-specific middleware
-export const beforePOST: ApiMiddleware[] = [
-  async (ctx, next) => {
-    // Validation specific to POST
-    await next();
-  },
-];
-
-export async function GET(ctx: ApiContext) {
-  const user = ctx.locals.user;
-  return ctx.Response({ user });
-}
-```
-
-**Key Benefits:**
-- Middlewares execute before loaders/handlers
-- Share data via `ctx.locals`
-- Method-specific middlewares for APIs
-- Clean separation of concerns
-
-### 📁 File-Based Routing
-
-Routes are automatically created from your file structure:
-
-| File Path | Route |
-|-----------|-------|
-| `app/page.tsx` | `/` |
-| `app/about/page.tsx` | `/about` |
-| `app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx` | `/blog/:slug` |
-| `app/post/[...path]/page.tsx` | `/post/*` (catch-all) |
-
-**Nested Layouts:**
-
-**⚠️ Important**: Layouts should NOT include `<html>` or `<body>` tags. The framework automatically handles the base HTML structure. Layouts should only contain content that goes inside the body.
-
-```tsx
-// app/layout.tsx (Root layout)
-export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
-  return (
-    <div>
-      <nav>Navigation</nav>
-      {children}
-      <footer>Footer</footer>
-    </div>
-  );
-}
-```
-
-```tsx
-// app/blog/layout.tsx (Nested layout)
-export default function BlogLayout({ children }) {
-  return (
-    <div>
-      <aside>Sidebar</aside>
-      <main>{children}</main>
-    </div>
-  );
-}
-```
-
-### 🚀 Hybrid Rendering
-
-Choose the best rendering strategy for each page:
-
-**SSR (Server-Side Rendering):**
-
-```tsx
-// app/posts/server.hook.ts
-export const dynamic = "force-dynamic" as const;
-
-export const getServerSideProps: ServerLoader = async (ctx) => {
-  const posts = await fetchFreshPosts();
-  return { props: { posts } };
-};
-```
-
-**SSG (Static Site Generation):**
-
-```tsx
-// app/blog/[slug]/server.hook.ts
-export const dynamic = "force-static" as const;
-
-export const generateStaticParams: GenerateStaticParams = async () => {
-  const posts = await getAllPosts();
-  return posts.map(post => ({ slug: post.slug }));
-};
-
-export const getServerSideProps: ServerLoader = async (ctx) => {
-  const post = await getPost(ctx.params.slug);
-  return { props: { post } };
-};
-```
-
-**CSR (Client-Side Rendering):**
-
-```tsx
-// app/dashboard/page.tsx (No server.hook.ts)
-import { useState, useEffect } from "react";
-
-export default function Dashboard() {
-  const [data, setData] = useState(null);
-  
-  useEffect(() => {
-    fetchData().then(setData);
-  }, []);
-  
-  return <div>{data}</div>;
-}
-```
-
-### 🔌 API Routes
-
-Create RESTful APIs with flexible middleware support:
-
-```tsx
-// app/api/posts/route.ts
-import type { ApiContext } from "@lolyjs/core";
-import { validate } from "@lolyjs/core";
-import { z } from "zod";
-
-const postSchema = z.object({
-  title: z.string().min(1),
-  content: z.string().min(1),
-});
-
-export async function GET(ctx: ApiContext) {
-  const posts = await getPosts();
-  return ctx.Response({ posts });
-}
-
-export async function POST(ctx: ApiContext) {
-  const data = validate(postSchema, ctx.req.body);
-  const post = await createPost(data);
-  return ctx.Response({ post }, 201);
-}
-```
-
-### 🛡️ Built-in Security
-
-**Rate Limiting:**
-
-```tsx
-// loly.config.ts
-import { ServerConfig } from "@lolyjs/core";
-
-export const config = (env: string): ServerConfig => {
-  return {
-    rateLimit: {
-      windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
-      max: 1000,
-      strictMax: 5,
-      strictPatterns: ["/api/auth/**"],
-    },
-  };
-};
-```
-
-**Validation with Zod:**
-
-```tsx
-import { validate, ValidationError } from "@lolyjs/core";
-import { z } from "zod";
-
-const schema = z.object({
-  email: z.string().email(),
-  age: z.number().int().min(0).max(150),
-});
-
-try {
-  const data = validate(schema, req.body);
-} catch (error) {
-  if (error instanceof ValidationError) {
-    return Response({ errors: error.format() }, 400);
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Automatic Sanitization:**
-
-Route parameters and query strings are automatically sanitized to prevent XSS attacks.
-
-**Security Headers:**
-
-Helmet is configured by default with CSP (Content Security Policy) and nonce support.
-
-### 📝 Structured Logging
-
-```tsx
-import { getRequestLogger, createModuleLogger } from "@lolyjs/core";
-
-// Request logger (automatic request ID)
-export const getServerSideProps: ServerLoader = async (ctx) => {
-  const logger = getRequestLogger(ctx.req);
-  logger.info("Processing request", { userId: ctx.locals.user?.id });
-  return { props: {} };
-};
-
-// Module logger
-const logger = createModuleLogger("my-module");
-logger.info("Module initialized");
-logger.error("Error occurred", error);
-```

-      const { socket, data, actions } = ctx;
-      
-      // Emit to all clients
-      actions.emit("response", { message: "Hello" });
-      
-      // Broadcast to all except sender
-      actions.broadcast("notification", data);
-      
-      // Emit to specific socket
-      actions.emitTo(socketId, "private", data);
-    },
-  },
-];
-```
-
-### Client Hooks
-
-```tsx

-import { revalidate } from "@lolyjs/core/client-cache";
-
-export default function Page() {
-  const { params, props } = usePageProps();
-  
-  const handleRefresh = async () => {
-    await revalidate(); // Refresh current page data
-  };
-  
-  return <div>{/* Your UI */}</div>;
-}
-```
-
-### Components
-
-```tsx
-import { Link } from "@lolyjs/core/components";
-

-  return (
-    <nav>
-      <Link href="/">Home</Link>
-      <Link href="/about">About</Link>
-      <Link href="/blog/[slug]" params={{ slug: "my-post" }}>
-        My Post
-      </Link>
-    </nav>
-  );
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Framework Configuration
-
-Create `loly.config.ts` in your project root to configure the framework:
-
-```tsx
-import { FrameworkConfig } from "@lolyjs/core";
-
-export default {
-  directories: {
-    app: "app",
-    build: ".loly",
-    static: "public",
-  },
-  server: {
-    port: 3000,
-    host: "localhost",
-  },
-  routing: {
-    trailingSlash: "ignore",
-    caseSensitive: false,
-    basePath: "",
-  },
-  rendering: {
-    framework: "react",
-    streaming: true,
-    ssr: true,
-    ssg: true,
-  },
-} satisfies FrameworkConfig;
-```
-
-### Server Configuration
-
-Configure server settings (CORS, rate limiting, etc.) in `loly.config.ts` by exporting a `config` function:
-
-```tsx
-// loly.config.ts
-import { ServerConfig } from "@lolyjs/core";
-
-export const config = (env: string): ServerConfig => {
-  return {
-    bodyLimit: "1mb",
-    corsOrigin: env === "production" 
-      ? ["https://yourdomain.com"]
-      : "*",
-    rateLimit: {
-      windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000,
-      max: 1000,
-      strictMax: 5,
-      strictPatterns: ["/api/auth/**"],
-    },
-  };
-};
-```
-
-### Server Initialization
-
-Create `init.server.ts` in your project root to initialize services when Express starts (database connections, external services, etc.):
-
-```tsx
-// init.server.ts
-import { InitServerData } from "@lolyjs/core";
-
-export async function init({
-  serverContext,
-}: {
-  serverContext: InitServerData;
-}) {
-  // Initialize database connection
-  await connectToDatabase();
-  
-  // Setup external services
-  await setupExternalServices();
-  
-  // Any other initialization logic
-  console.log("Server initialized successfully");
-}
-```
-
-**Note**: `init.server.ts` is for initializing your application services, not for configuring Loly Framework. Framework configuration goes in `loly.config.ts`.
-

+  const data = await fetchData();
+
+  return {
+    props: { data },
+    metadata: {
+      title: "Home Page",
+      description: "Welcome to Loly",
+      // See "SEO & Metadata" section below for full metadata options
+    },
+  };

+### 🔌 Native WebSocket Support (Realtime v1)
+
+Loly includes production-ready WebSocket support with automatic namespace routing, authentication, validation, rate limiting, and multi-instance scaling. Define WebSocket events using the new `defineWssRoute()` API:
+
+```tsx
+// app/wss/chat/events.ts
+import { defineWssRoute } from "@lolyjs/core";
+import { z } from "zod";
+
+export default defineWssRoute({
+  // Authentication hook
+  auth: async (ctx) => {
+    const token = ctx.req.headers.authorization;
+    return await verifyToken(token); // Returns user or null
+  },
+
+  // Connection hook
+  onConnect: (ctx) => {
+    console.log("User connected:", ctx.user?.id);
+  },
+
+  // Event handlers with validation, guards, and rate limiting
+  events: {
+    message: {
+      // Schema validation (Zod/Valibot)
+      schema: z.object({
+        text: z.string().min(1).max(500),
+      }),
+      
+      // Guard (permissions check)
+      guard: ({ user }) => !!user, // Require authentication
+      
+      // Per-event rate limiting
+      rateLimit: {
+        eventsPerSecond: 10,
+        burst: 20,
+      },
+      
+      // Handler
+      handler: (ctx) => {
+        ctx.actions.broadcast("message", {
+          text: ctx.data.text,
+          from: ctx.user?.id,
+        });
+      },
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+**Client-side:**
+
+```tsx
+import { lolySocket } from "@lolyjs/core/sockets";
+
+const socket = lolySocket("/chat");
+
+socket.on("message", (data) => {
+  console.log("Received:", data);
+});
+
+socket.emit("message", { text: "Hello!" });
+```
+
+**Key Features:**
+
+- ✅ **Production-ready**: Auth, validation, rate limiting, logging
+- ✅ **Multi-instance**: Redis adapter for horizontal scaling
+- ✅ **State Store**: Shared state across instances (memory/Redis)
+- ✅ **Presence**: User-to-socket mapping for targeted messaging
+- ✅ **Type-safe**: Full TypeScript support
+- ✅ **Automatic namespace creation** from file structure
+- ✅ **Same routing pattern** as pages and APIs
+- ✅ **Built-in helpers**: `emit`, `broadcast`, `toUser()`, `toRoom()`, `join()`, `leave()`
+- ✅ **No manual configuration required** (works out of the box for localhost)

+
+### 🎯 Route-Level Middlewares
+
+Define middlewares directly in your routes for fine-grained control. Middlewares run before `getServerSideProps` (pages) or API handlers and can modify `ctx.locals`, set headers, redirect, etc.
+
+**For Pages:**
+
+```tsx
+// app/dashboard/page.server.hook.ts (preferred) or app/dashboard/server.hook.ts (legacy)
+import type { RouteMiddleware, ServerLoader } from "@lolyjs/core";
+
+export const beforeServerData: RouteMiddleware[] = [
+  async (ctx, next) => {
+    // Authentication
+    const token = ctx.req.headers.authorization;
+    if (!token) {
+      ctx.res.redirect("/login");
+      return; // Don't call next() if redirecting
+    }
+    ctx.locals.user = await verifyToken(token);
+    await next(); // Call next() to continue to next middleware or getServerSideProps
+  },
+];
+
+export const getServerSideProps: ServerLoader = async (ctx) => {
+  const user = ctx.locals.user; // Available from middleware
+  return { props: { user } };
+};
+```
+
+**For API Routes:**
+
+```tsx
+// app/api/protected/route.ts
+import type { ApiMiddleware, ApiContext } from "@lolyjs/core";
+
+// Global middleware for all methods (GET, POST, PUT, etc.)
+export const beforeApi: ApiMiddleware[] = [
+  async (ctx, next) => {
+    // Authentication
+    const user = await getUser(ctx.req);
+    if (!user) {
+      return ctx.Response({ error: "Unauthorized" }, 401);
+    }
+    ctx.locals.user = user;
+    await next();
+  },
+];
+
+// Method-specific middleware (only runs before POST)
+export const beforePOST: ApiMiddleware[] = [
+  async (ctx, next) => {
+    // Validation specific to POST
+    await next();
+  },
+];
+
+// Method-specific middleware (only runs before GET)
+export const beforeGET: ApiMiddleware[] = [
+  async (ctx, next) => {
+    // Cache logic specific to GET
+    await next();
+  },
+];
+
+export async function GET(ctx: ApiContext) {
+  const user = ctx.locals.user;
+  return ctx.Response({ user });
+}
+
+export async function POST(ctx: ApiContext) {
+  const user = ctx.locals.user;
+  const data = ctx.req.body;
+  return ctx.Response({ created: true }, 201);
+}
+```
+
+**Key Benefits:**
+
+- Middlewares execute before loaders/handlers
+- Share data via `ctx.locals`
+- Method-specific middlewares for APIs
+- Clean separation of concerns
+
+### 📁 File-Based Routing
+
+Routes are automatically created from your file structure:
+
+| File Path                     | Route                 |
+| ----------------------------- | --------------------- |
+| `app/page.tsx`                | `/`                   |
+| `app/about/page.tsx`          | `/about`              |
+| `app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx`    | `/blog/:slug`         |
+| `app/post/[...path]/page.tsx` | `/post/*` (catch-all) |
+
+**Nested Layouts:**
+
+**⚠️ Important**: Layouts should NOT include `<html>` or `<body>` tags. The framework automatically handles the base HTML structure. Layouts should only contain content that goes inside the body.
+
+```tsx
+// app/layout.tsx (Root layout)
+export default function RootLayout({ children, appName, navigation }) {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <nav>{navigation}</nav>
+      {children}
+      <footer>{appName}</footer>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+```tsx
+// app/layout.server.hook.ts (Root layout server hook - same directory as layout.tsx)
+import type { ServerLoader } from "@lolyjs/core";
+
+export const getServerSideProps: ServerLoader = async (ctx) => {
+  return {
+    props: {
+      appName: "My App",
+      navigation: ["Home", "About", "Blog"],
+    },
+  };
+};
+```
+
+```tsx
+// app/blog/layout.tsx (Nested layout)
+export default function BlogLayout({ children, sectionTitle }) {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <h1>{sectionTitle}</h1>
+      <aside>Sidebar</aside>
+      <main>{children}</main>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+```tsx
+// app/blog/layout.server.hook.ts (Nested layout server hook - same directory as layout.tsx)
+import type { ServerLoader } from "@lolyjs/core";
+
+export const getServerSideProps: ServerLoader = async (ctx) => {
+  return {
+    props: {
+      sectionTitle: "Blog Section",
+    },
+  };
+};
+```
+
+**Layout Server Hooks:**
+
+Layouts can have their own server hooks that provide stable data across all pages. Props from layout server hooks are automatically merged with page props:
+
+- **Layout props** (from `layout.server.hook.ts`) are stable and available to both the layout and all pages
+- **Page props** (from `page.server.hook.ts`) are specific to each page and override layout props if there's a conflict
+- **Combined props** are available to both layouts and pages
+
+**File Convention:**
+- Layout server hooks: `app/layout.server.hook.ts` (same directory as `layout.tsx`)
+- Page server hooks: `app/page.server.hook.ts` (preferred) or `app/server.hook.ts` (legacy, backward compatible)
+
+### 🚀 Hybrid Rendering
+
+Choose the best rendering strategy for each page:
+
+**SSR (Server-Side Rendering):**
+
+```tsx
+// app/posts/page.server.hook.ts (preferred) or app/posts/server.hook.ts (legacy)
+export const dynamic = "force-dynamic" as const;
+
+export const getServerSideProps: ServerLoader = async (ctx) => {
+  const posts = await fetchFreshPosts();
+  return { props: { posts } };
+};
+```
+
+**SSG (Static Site Generation):**
+
+```tsx
+// app/blog/[slug]/page.server.hook.ts (preferred) or app/blog/[slug]/server.hook.ts (legacy)
+export const dynamic = "force-static" as const;
+
+export const generateStaticParams: GenerateStaticParams = async () => {
+  const posts = await getAllPosts();
+  return posts.map((post) => ({ slug: post.slug }));
+};
+
+export const getServerSideProps: ServerLoader = async (ctx) => {
+  const post = await getPost(ctx.params.slug);
+  return { props: { post } };
+};
+```
+
+**CSR (Client-Side Rendering):**
+
+```tsx
+// app/dashboard/page.tsx (No page.server.hook.ts)
+import { useState, useEffect } from "react";
+
+export default function Dashboard() {
+  const [data, setData] = useState(null);
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    fetchData().then(setData);
+  }, []);
+
+  return <div>{data}</div>;
+}
+```
+
+### 🔌 API Routes
+
+Create RESTful APIs with flexible middleware support:
+
+```tsx
+// app/api/posts/route.ts
+import type { ApiContext } from "@lolyjs/core";
+import { validate } from "@lolyjs/core";
+import { z } from "zod";
+
+const postSchema = z.object({
+  title: z.string().min(1),
+  content: z.string().min(1),
+});
+
+export async function GET(ctx: ApiContext) {
+  const posts = await getPosts();
+  return ctx.Response({ posts });
+}
+
+export async function POST(ctx: ApiContext) {
+  const data = validate(postSchema, ctx.req.body);
+  const post = await createPost(data);
+  return ctx.Response({ post }, 201);
+}
+```
+
+### 📊 SEO & Metadata
+
+Loly provides comprehensive metadata support for SEO and social sharing. Metadata can be defined at both layout and page levels, with intelligent merging:
+
+**Layout Metadata (Base/Defaults):**
+
+```tsx
+// app/layout.server.hook.ts
+import type { ServerLoader } from "@lolyjs/core";
+
+export const getServerSideProps: ServerLoader = async () => {
+  return {
+    props: { /* ... */ },
+    metadata: {
+      // Site-wide defaults
+      description: "My awesome site",
+      lang: "en",
+      robots: "index, follow",
+      themeColor: "#000000",
+      
+      // Open Graph defaults
+      openGraph: {
+        type: "website",
+        siteName: "My Site",
+        locale: "en_US",
+      },
+      
+      // Twitter Card defaults
+      twitter: {
+        card: "summary_large_image",
+      },
+      
+      // Custom meta tags
+      metaTags: [
+        { name: "author", content: "My Name" },
+      ],
+      
+      // Custom link tags (preconnect, etc.)
+      links: [
+        { rel: "preconnect", href: "https://api.example.com" },
+      ],
+    },
+  };
+};
+```
+
+**Page Metadata (Overrides Layout):**
+
+```tsx
+// app/page.server.hook.ts
+import type { ServerLoader } from "@lolyjs/core";
+
+export const getServerSideProps: ServerLoader = async (ctx) => {
+  const post = await getPost(ctx.params.slug);
+  
+  return {
+    props: { post },
+    metadata: {
+      // Page-specific (overrides layout)
+      title: `${post.title} | My Site`,
+      description: post.excerpt,
+      canonical: `https://mysite.com/blog/${post.slug}`,
+      
+      // Open Graph (inherits type, siteName from layout)
+      openGraph: {
+        title: post.title,
+        description: post.excerpt,
+        url: `https://mysite.com/blog/${post.slug}`,
+        image: {
+          url: post.imageUrl,
+          width: 1200,
+          height: 630,
+          alt: post.title,
+        },
+      },
+      
+      // Twitter Card (inherits card type from layout)
+      twitter: {
+        title: post.title,
+        description: post.excerpt,
+        image: post.imageUrl,
+        imageAlt: post.title,
+      },
+    },
+  };
+};
+```
+
+**Full Metadata API:**
+
+```tsx
+interface PageMetadata {
+  // Basic fields
+  title?: string;
+  description?: string;
+  lang?: string;
+  canonical?: string;
+  robots?: string;
+  themeColor?: string;
+  viewport?: string;
+  
+  // Open Graph
+  openGraph?: {
+    title?: string;
+    description?: string;
+    type?: string;
+    url?: string;
+    image?: string | {
+      url: string;
+      width?: number;
+      height?: number;
+      alt?: string;
+    };
+    siteName?: string;
+    locale?: string;
+  };
+  
+  // Twitter Cards
+  twitter?: {
+    card?: "summary" | "summary_large_image" | "app" | "player";
+    title?: string;
+    description?: string;
+    image?: string;
+    imageAlt?: string;
+    site?: string;
+    creator?: string;
+  };
+  
+  // Custom meta tags
+  metaTags?: Array<{
+    name?: string;
+    property?: string;
+    httpEquiv?: string;
+    content: string;
+  }>;
+  
+  // Custom link tags
+  links?: Array<{
+    rel: string;
+    href: string;
+    as?: string;
+    crossorigin?: string;
+    type?: string;
+  }>;
+}
+```
+
+**Key Features:**
+
+- **Layout + Page Merging**: Layout metadata provides defaults, page metadata overrides specific fields
+- **Automatic Updates**: Metadata updates automatically during SPA navigation
+- **SSR & SSG Support**: Works in both server-side rendering and static generation
+- **Type-Safe**: Full TypeScript support with `PageMetadata` type
+
+### 🛡️ Built-in Security
+
+**Rate Limiting:**
+
+```tsx
+// loly.config.ts
+import { ServerConfig } from "@lolyjs/core";
+
+export const config = (env: string): ServerConfig => {
+  return {
+    rateLimit: {
+      windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
+      max: 1000,
+      strictMax: 5,
+      strictPatterns: ["/api/auth/**"],
+    },
+  };
+};
+```
+
+**Validation with Zod:**
+
+```tsx
+import { validate, ValidationError } from "@lolyjs/core";
+import { z } from "zod";
+
+const schema = z.object({
+  email: z.string().email(),
+  age: z.number().int().min(0).max(150),
+});
+
+try {
+  const data = validate(schema, req.body);
+} catch (error) {
+  if (error instanceof ValidationError) {
+    return Response({ errors: error.format() }, 400);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Automatic Sanitization:**
+
+Route parameters and query strings are automatically sanitized to prevent XSS attacks.
+
+**Security Headers:**
+
+Helmet is configured by default with CSP (Content Security Policy) and nonce support.
+
+### 📝 Structured Logging
+
+```tsx
+import { getRequestLogger, createModuleLogger } from "@lolyjs/core";
+
+// Request logger (automatic request ID)
+export const getServerSideProps: ServerLoader = async (ctx) => {
+  const logger = getRequestLogger(ctx.req);
+  logger.info("Processing request", { userId: ctx.locals.user?.id });
+  return { props: {} };
+};
+
+// Module logger
+const logger = createModuleLogger("my-module");
+logger.info("Module initialized");
+logger.error("Error occurred", error);
+```

+## API Reference
+
+### Server Loader
+
+**Page Server Hook:**
+
+```tsx
+// app/page.server.hook.ts (preferred) or app/server.hook.ts (legacy)
+import type { ServerLoader } from "@lolyjs/core";
+
+export const getServerSideProps: ServerLoader = async (ctx) => {
+  const { req, res, params, pathname, locals } = ctx;
+
+  // Fetch data
+  const data = await fetchData();
+
+  // Redirect
+  return {
+    redirect: {
+      destination: "/new-path",
+      permanent: true,
+    },
+  };
+
+  // Not found
+  return { notFound: true };
+
+  // Return props
+  return {
+    props: { data },
+    metadata: {
+      title: "Page Title",
+      description: "Page description",
+      // See "SEO & Metadata" section above for full metadata options
+      // including Open Graph, Twitter Cards, canonical URLs, etc.
+    },
+  };
+};
+```
+
+**Layout Server Hook:**
+
+```tsx
+// app/layout.server.hook.ts (same directory as layout.tsx)
+import type { ServerLoader } from "@lolyjs/core";
+
+export const getServerSideProps: ServerLoader = async (ctx) => {
+  // Fetch stable data that persists across all pages
+  const user = await getCurrentUser();
+  const navigation = await getNavigation();
+
+  return {
+    props: {
+      user,        // Available to layout and all pages
+      navigation,  // Available to layout and all pages
+    },
+  };
+};
+```
+
+**Props Merging:**
+
+- Layout props (from `layout.server.hook.ts`) are merged first
+- Page props (from `page.server.hook.ts`) are merged second and override layout props
+- Both layouts and pages receive the combined props
+
+```tsx
+// app/layout.tsx
+export default function Layout({ user, navigation, children }) {
+  // Receives: user, navigation (from layout.server.hook.ts)
+  // Also receives: any props from page.server.hook.ts
+  return <div>{/* ... */}</div>;
+}
+
+// app/page.tsx
+export default function Page({ user, navigation, posts }) {
+  // Receives: user, navigation (from layout.server.hook.ts)
+  // Receives: posts (from page.server.hook.ts)
+  return <div>{/* ... */}</div>;
+}
+```
+
+### API Route Handler
+
+```tsx
+import type { ApiContext } from "@lolyjs/core";
+
+export async function GET(ctx: ApiContext) {
+  return ctx.Response({ data: "value" });
+}
+
+export async function POST(ctx: ApiContext) {
+  return ctx.Response({ created: true }, 201);
+}
+
+export async function DELETE(ctx: ApiContext) {
+  return ctx.Response({ deleted: true }, 204);
+}
+```
+
+### WebSocket Event Handler (New API - Realtime v1)
+
+```tsx
+import { defineWssRoute } from "@lolyjs/core";
+import { z } from "zod";
+
+export default defineWssRoute({
+  auth: async (ctx) => {
+    // Authenticate user
+    return await getUserFromToken(ctx.req.headers.authorization);
+  },
+
+  onConnect: (ctx) => {
+    console.log("User connected:", ctx.user?.id);
+  },
+
+  events: {
+    "custom-event": {
+      schema: z.object({ message: z.string() }),
+      guard: ({ user }) => !!user,
+      handler: (ctx) => {
+        // Emit to all clients
+        ctx.actions.emit("response", { message: "Hello" });
+
+        // Broadcast to all except sender
+        ctx.actions.broadcast("notification", ctx.data);
+
+        // Send to specific user
+        ctx.actions.toUser(userId).emit("private", ctx.data);
+
+        // Send to room
+        ctx.actions.toRoom("room-name").emit("room-message", ctx.data);
+      },
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+```
+
+### Client Cache
+
+```tsx
+import { revalidate } from "@lolyjs/core/client-cache";
+
+export default function Page({ props }) {
+  const handleRefresh = async () => {
+    await revalidate(); // Refresh current page data
+  };
+
+  return <div>{/* Your UI */}</div>;
+}
+```
+
+### Components
+
+```tsx
+import { Link } from "@lolyjs/core/components";
+
+export default function Navigation() {
+  return (
+    <nav>
+      <Link href="/">Home</Link>
+      <Link href="/about">About</Link>
+      <Link href="/blog/[slug]" params={{ slug: "my-post" }}>
+        My Post
+      </Link>
+    </nav>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Framework Configuration
+
+Create `loly.config.ts` in your project root to configure the framework:
+
+```tsx
+import { FrameworkConfig } from "@lolyjs/core";
+
+export default {
+  directories: {
+    app: "app",
+    build: ".loly",
+    static: "public",
+  },
+  server: {
+    port: 3000,
+    host: "localhost",
+  },
+  routing: {
+    trailingSlash: "ignore",
+    caseSensitive: false,
+    basePath: "",
+  },
+  rendering: {
+    framework: "react",
+    streaming: true,
+    ssr: true,
+    ssg: true,
+  },
+} satisfies FrameworkConfig;
+```
+
+### Server Configuration
+
+Configure server settings (CORS, rate limiting, WebSocket, etc.) in `loly.config.ts` by exporting a `config` function:
+
+```tsx
+// loly.config.ts
+import { ServerConfig } from "@lolyjs/core";
+
+export const config = (env: string): ServerConfig => {
+  const isDev = env === "development";
+  
+  return {
+    bodyLimit: "1mb",
+    corsOrigin: isDev ? "*" : ["https://yourdomain.com"],
+    rateLimit: {
+      windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000,
+      max: 1000,
+      strictMax: 5,
+      strictPatterns: ["/api/auth/**"],
+    },
+    // Realtime (WebSocket) configuration
+    realtime: {
+      enabled: true,
+      // For production, configure allowed origins
+      // For development, localhost is auto-allowed
+      allowedOrigins: isDev ? undefined : ["https://yourdomain.com"],
+      // Optional: Configure Redis for multi-instance scaling
+      // scale: {
+      //   mode: "cluster",
+      //   adapter: { url: "redis://localhost:6379" },
+      //   stateStore: { name: "redis", url: "redis://localhost:6379" },
+      // },
+    },
+  };
+};
+```
+
+**Note:** For local development, Realtime works out of the box without any configuration. The framework automatically allows `localhost` connections. Only configure `allowedOrigins` when deploying to production.
+
+### Server Initialization
+
+Create `init.server.ts` in your project root to initialize services when Express starts (database connections, external services, etc.):
+
+```tsx
+// init.server.ts
+import { InitServerData } from "@lolyjs/core";
+
+export async function init({
+  serverContext,
+}: {
+  serverContext: InitServerData;
+}) {
+  // Initialize database connection
+  await connectToDatabase();
+
+  // Setup external services
+  await setupExternalServices();
+
+  // Any other initialization logic
+  console.log("Server initialized successfully");
+}
+```
+
+**Note**: `init.server.ts` is for initializing your application services, not for configuring Loly Framework. Framework configuration goes in `loly.config.ts`.

+
+## CLI Commands
+
+```bash
+# Development server
+npx loly dev
+
+# Build for production
+npx loly build
+
+# Start production server
+npx loly start
+```
+
+---
+
+## TypeScript Support
+
+Loly is built with TypeScript and provides full type safety:
+
+```tsx
+import type {
+  ServerContext,
+  ServerLoader,
+  ApiContext,
+  WssContext,
+  RouteMiddleware,
+  ApiMiddleware,
+  GenerateStaticParams,
+} from "@lolyjs/core";
+```
+
+---
+
+## Production
+
+### Build
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+```
+
+This generates:
+
+- Client bundle (`.loly/client`)
+- Static pages if using SSG (`.loly/ssg`)
+- Server code (`.loly/server`)
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+PORT=3000
+HOST=0.0.0.0
+NODE_ENV=production
+# PUBLIC_WS_BASE_URL is optional - defaults to window.location.origin
+# Only set if WebSocket server is on a different domain
+PUBLIC_WS_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+**Note:** For WebSocket connections, `PUBLIC_WS_BASE_URL` is optional. By default, `lolySocket` uses `window.location.origin`, so you only need to set it if your WebSocket server is on a different domain than your web app.
+
+---
+
