Systematic Performance Optimization Process

Step 1 of 4

Step 1: Measure — Know Your Baseline

The golden rule of performance optimization: don't guess, use data. Like a doctor running tests before prescribing — you need to "diagnose" before you can "treat".

# Step 1: Measure current performance

# Run full performance audit
/perf analyze

# Profile CPU usage
/perf profile --cpu

# Analyze bundle size
/perf bundle-size

# Run Lighthouse audit
/perf lighthouse

# Record baseline metrics
/perf baseline --save

💡Always establish a performance baseline first — otherwise you can't quantify improvements!

💻 Hands-on: Optimize React Component Performance

Practice core React performance optimization techniques in the code playground:

React Performance Optimizationtypescript

// Before: Unoptimized component
// Every parent re-render causes ALL items to re-render

import { useState, useMemo, useCallback, memo } from 'react'

// ❌ BEFORE: No memoization
function UserListBefore({ users, onSelect }) {
return (
  <ul>
    {users.map(user => (
      <li key={user.id} onClick={() => onSelect(user.id)}>
        {user.name} - {formatRole(user.role)}
      </li>
    ))}
  </ul>
)
}

// ✅ AFTER: Optimized with memo + useCallback
const UserItem = memo(function UserItem({ user, onSelect }) {
return (
  <li onClick={() => onSelect(user.id)}>
    {user.name} - {formatRole(user.role)}
  </li>
)
})

function UserListAfter({ users, onSelect }) {
// Memoize the callback to prevent unnecessary re-renders
const handleSelect = useCallback((id: string) => {
  onSelect(id)
}, [onSelect])

// Memoize expensive computation
const sortedUsers = useMemo(() => 
  [...users].sort((a, b) => a.name.localeCompare(b.name)),
  [users]
)

return (
  <ul>
    {sortedUsers.map(user => (
      <UserItem 
        key={user.id} 
        user={user} 
        onSelect={handleSelect} 
      />
    ))}
  </ul>
)
}

// Helper function
function formatRole(role: string): string {
return role.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + role.slice(1)
}

// Try it: Add virtualization for large lists
// Hint: Use react-window or @tanstack/virtual
