feat(performance): optimize resource loading and initialization

- Added resource hints in index.html for improved loading performance, including preconnect and dns-prefetch links.
- Implemented preload for critical JSON resources to enhance initial load times.
- Optimized Google Analytics and HubSpot script loading to defer execution and reduce blocking during initial render.
- Refactored app initialization in App.tsx to defer non-critical operations, improving perceived performance.
- Introduced lazy loading for chart components and TinyMCE editor to minimize initial bundle size and enhance user experience.
- Enhanced Vite configuration for optimized chunking strategy and improved caching with shorter hash lengths.
