        let totalPrice = 0;

        cart.forEach((item, index) => {
            const row = document.createElement('tr');
            row.innerHTML = `
                <td>${item.product}</td>
                <td>$${item.price.toFixed(2)}</td>
                <td>${item.quantity}</td>
                <td>$${(item.price * item.quantity).toFixed(2)}</td>
                <td><button onclick="removeFromCart(${index})">Remove</button></td>
            `;
            cartTableBody.appendChild(row);
            totalPrice += item.price * item.quantity;
        });

        totalPriceElement.textContent = totalPrice.toFixed(2);
    }

    window.removeFromCart = (index) => {
        cart.splice(index, 1);
        localStorage.setItem('cart', JSON.stringify(cart));
        updateCart();
    };

    updateCart();
});

Deployment

Here's a step-by-step deployment process for your e-commerce website using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and XAMPP:

Deployment Process for E-Commerce Website

1. Set Up XAMPP

Download XAMPP: Download XAMPP from the official website and install it on your local machine.
Start Apache and MySQL: Open the XAMPP Control Panel and start the Apache server and MySQL database.

2. Configure the Project Directory

Create Project Folder: Navigate to the htdocs folder inside the XAMPP installation directory (e.g., C:\xampp\htdocs\).
Copy Website Files: Create a new folder for your project (e.g., healthy_store) and copy all your HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP files into this folder.

3. Set Up the Database

Open phpMyAdmin: In your browser, navigate to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/.
Create Database: Click on "Databases" and create a new database (e.g., healthy_store_db).
Import Database Schema: If you have a SQL file with your database schema, import it using the "Import" tab in phpMyAdmin.
Configure Database Connection: Update your PHP files to ensure they connect to the database using the correct credentials (e.g., localhost, root, and the database name).

4. Test the Website Locally

Access the Website: In your browser, go to http://localhost/healthy_store/ to view your website.
Test Functionality: Ensure that all features (e.g., adding items to the cart, processing checkout, etc.) work correctly.

5. Deploy to a Web Server (Optional)

Choose a Hosting Provider: If you plan to deploy the website online, choose a hosting provider that supports PHP and MySQL.
Upload Files: Use an FTP client like FileZilla to upload your project files to the web server.
Set Up the Database: Create a new database on the hosting server and import your database schema. Update the database connection details in your PHP files to reflect the hosting environment.
Test Live: Visit your domain to test the website and ensure everything functions correctly.

6. Go Live

Domain Configuration: Point your domain name to the hosting server if you haven't done so.
Final Testing: Perform a final round of testing to ensure the website is fully operational.
Launch: Your e-commerce website is now live and ready for customers.

Optimizations

Optimizations Made in the E-Commerce Website Code

1. Code Refactoring

Separation of Concerns: The HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code was structured to separate concerns clearly. HTML handles the structure, CSS the styling, and JavaScript the functionality. This modular approach makes the codebase easier to maintain and update.
Reusable Components: Common components like the navbar and buttons were refactored into reusable code snippets to avoid repetition and ensure consistency across the site.

2. Performance Improvements

Minimization of DOM Manipulation: JavaScript operations that manipulate the DOM were minimized. For example, instead of updating the DOM multiple times during the cart update process, changes were made in a single operation, reducing reflows and repaints.
Local Storage Optimization: Cart data is stored and retrieved using localStorage, which reduces server load and allows for a faster, more responsive user experience.
Lazy Loading Images (Planned): To improve page load times, especially for product images, lazy loading is planned. This ensures that images are only loaded when they enter the viewport, reducing initial page load time.

3. Accessibility Enhancements

Semantic HTML: Proper use of semantic HTML elements (e.g., <nav>, <main>, <header>, <footer>, <button>, <table>) improves accessibility by providing meaningful structure to screen readers and other assistive technologies.
Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements, such as buttons and links, are keyboard accessible, ensuring that users who rely on keyboard navigation can use the site effectively.
ARIA Attributes: Implemented ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes where necessary to enhance accessibility, such as labeling buttons with descriptive text.
Color Contrast: The color scheme was designed to meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for contrast, ensuring that text is legible for users with visual impairments.

4. CSS and Animation Optimization

Efficient Animations: CSS animations, such as the gradient background and text glow in the cart page, were optimized for performance by using properties that are less likely to trigger layout changes (e.g., transform and opacity). This reduces the likelihood of jank during animation.
Responsive Design: The layout was made responsive to ensure that the website works well on various devices, from desktops to mobile phones, without compromising performance or user experience.

5. JavaScript Optimization

Event Delegation: Used event delegation for handling events in dynamically generated content (e.g., the cart table). This reduces the number of event listeners attached to elements, improving performance, especially as the number of elements grows.
Debouncing: Applied debouncing techniques where appropriate to prevent excessive function calls in response to user inputs, such as typing or scrolling events.

These optimizations were implemented to ensure that the e-commerce website not only performs efficiently but is also accessible to a broad range of users, including those with disabilities.
