+# Vercel React Best Practices
+
+Comprehensive performance optimization guide for React and Next.js applications, maintained by Vercel. Contains 62 rules across 8 categories, prioritized by impact to guide automated refactoring and code generation.
+
+## When to Apply
+
+Reference these guidelines when:
+- Writing new React components or Next.js pages
+- Implementing data fetching (client or server-side)
+- Reviewing code for performance issues
+- Refactoring existing React/Next.js code
+- Optimizing bundle size or load times
+
+## Rule Categories by Priority
+
+| Priority | Category | Impact | Prefix |
+|----------|----------|--------|--------|
+| 1 | Eliminating Waterfalls | CRITICAL | `async-` |
+| 2 | Bundle Size Optimization | CRITICAL | `bundle-` |
+| 3 | Server-Side Performance | HIGH | `server-` |
+| 4 | Client-Side Data Fetching | MEDIUM-HIGH | `client-` |
+| 5 | Re-render Optimization | MEDIUM | `rerender-` |
+| 6 | Rendering Performance | MEDIUM | `rendering-` |
+| 7 | JavaScript Performance | LOW-MEDIUM | `js-` |
+| 8 | Advanced Patterns | LOW | `advanced-` |
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+### 1. Eliminating Waterfalls (CRITICAL)
+
+- `async-defer-await` - Move await into branches where actually used
+- `async-parallel` - Use Promise.all() for independent operations
+- `async-dependencies` - Use better-all for partial dependencies
+- `async-api-routes` - Start promises early, await late in API routes
+- `async-suspense-boundaries` - Use Suspense to stream content
+
+### 2. Bundle Size Optimization (CRITICAL)
+
+- `bundle-barrel-imports` - Import directly, avoid barrel files
+- `bundle-dynamic-imports` - Use next/dynamic for heavy components
+- `bundle-defer-third-party` - Load analytics/logging after hydration
+- `bundle-conditional` - Load modules only when feature is activated
+- `bundle-preload` - Preload on hover/focus for perceived speed
+
+### 3. Server-Side Performance (HIGH)
+
+- `server-auth-actions` - Authenticate server actions like API routes
+- `server-cache-react` - Use React.cache() for per-request deduplication
+- `server-cache-lru` - Use LRU cache for cross-request caching
+- `server-dedup-props` - Avoid duplicate serialization in RSC props
+- `server-hoist-static-io` - Hoist static I/O (fonts, logos) to module level
+- `server-serialization` - Minimize data passed to client components
+- `server-parallel-fetching` - Restructure components to parallelize fetches
+- `server-after-nonblocking` - Use after() for non-blocking operations
+
+### 4. Client-Side Data Fetching (MEDIUM-HIGH)
+
+- `client-swr-dedup` - Use SWR for automatic request deduplication
+- `client-event-listeners` - Deduplicate global event listeners
+- `client-passive-event-listeners` - Use passive listeners for scroll
+- `client-localstorage-schema` - Version and minimize localStorage data
+
+### 5. Re-render Optimization (MEDIUM)
+
+- `rerender-defer-reads` - Don't subscribe to state only used in callbacks
+- `rerender-memo` - Extract expensive work into memoized components
+- `rerender-memo-with-default-value` - Hoist default non-primitive props
+- `rerender-dependencies` - Use primitive dependencies in effects
+- `rerender-derived-state` - Subscribe to derived booleans, not raw values
+- `rerender-derived-state-no-effect` - Derive state during render, not effects
+- `rerender-functional-setstate` - Use functional setState for stable callbacks
+- `rerender-lazy-state-init` - Pass function to useState for expensive values
+- `rerender-simple-expression-in-memo` - Avoid memo for simple primitives
+- `rerender-move-effect-to-event` - Put interaction logic in event handlers
+- `rerender-transitions` - Use startTransition for non-urgent updates
+- `rerender-use-ref-transient-values` - Use refs for transient frequent values
+- `rerender-no-inline-components` - Don't define components inside components
+
+### 6. Rendering Performance (MEDIUM)
+
+- `rendering-animate-svg-wrapper` - Animate div wrapper, not SVG element
+- `rendering-content-visibility` - Use content-visibility for long lists
+- `rendering-hoist-jsx` - Extract static JSX outside components
+- `rendering-svg-precision` - Reduce SVG coordinate precision
+- `rendering-hydration-no-flicker` - Use inline script for client-only data
+- `rendering-hydration-suppress-warning` - Suppress expected mismatches
+- `rendering-activity` - Use Activity component for show/hide
+- `rendering-conditional-render` - Use ternary, not && for conditionals
+- `rendering-usetransition-loading` - Prefer useTransition for loading state
+- `rendering-resource-hints` - Use React DOM resource hints for preloading
+- `rendering-script-defer-async` - Use defer or async on script tags
+
+### 7. JavaScript Performance (LOW-MEDIUM)
+
+- `js-batch-dom-css` - Group CSS changes via classes or cssText
+- `js-index-maps` - Build Map for repeated lookups
+- `js-cache-property-access` - Cache object properties in loops
+- `js-cache-function-results` - Cache function results in module-level Map
+- `js-cache-storage` - Cache localStorage/sessionStorage reads
+- `js-combine-iterations` - Combine multiple filter/map into one loop
+- `js-length-check-first` - Check array length before expensive comparison
+- `js-early-exit` - Return early from functions
+- `js-hoist-regexp` - Hoist RegExp creation outside loops
+- `js-min-max-loop` - Use loop for min/max instead of sort
+- `js-set-map-lookups` - Use Set/Map for O(1) lookups
+- `js-tosorted-immutable` - Use toSorted() for immutability
+- `js-flatmap-filter` - Use flatMap to map and filter in one pass
+
+### 8. Advanced Patterns (LOW)
+
+- `advanced-event-handler-refs` - Store event handlers in refs
+- `advanced-init-once` - Initialize app once per app load
+- `advanced-use-latest` - useLatest for stable callback refs

+
+## Store Event Handlers in Refs
+
+Store callbacks in refs when used in effects that shouldn't re-subscribe on callback changes.
+
+**Incorrect (re-subscribes on every render):**
+
+```tsx
+function useWindowEvent(event: string, handler: (e) => void) {
+  useEffect(() => {
+    window.addEventListener(event, handler)
+    return () => window.removeEventListener(event, handler)
+  }, [event, handler])
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (stable subscription):**
+
+```tsx
+function useWindowEvent(event: string, handler: (e) => void) {
+  const handlerRef = useRef(handler)
+  useEffect(() => {
+    handlerRef.current = handler
+  }, [handler])
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const listener = (e) => handlerRef.current(e)
+    window.addEventListener(event, listener)
+    return () => window.removeEventListener(event, listener)
+  }, [event])
+}
+```
+
+**Alternative: use `useEffectEvent` if you're on latest React:**
+
+```tsx
+import { useEffectEvent } from 'react'
+
+function useWindowEvent(event: string, handler: (e) => void) {
+  const onEvent = useEffectEvent(handler)
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    window.addEventListener(event, onEvent)
+    return () => window.removeEventListener(event, onEvent)
+  }, [event])
+}
+```
+
+`useEffectEvent` provides a cleaner API for the same pattern: it creates a stable function reference that always calls the latest version of the handler.

+
+## Prevent Waterfall Chains in API Routes
+
+In API routes and Server Actions, start independent operations immediately, even if you don't await them yet.
+
+**Incorrect (config waits for auth, data waits for both):**
+
+```typescript
+export async function GET(request: Request) {
+  const session = await auth()
+  const config = await fetchConfig()
+  const data = await fetchData(session.user.id)
+  return Response.json({ data, config })
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (auth and config start immediately):**
+
+```typescript
+export async function GET(request: Request) {
+  const sessionPromise = auth()
+  const configPromise = fetchConfig()
+  const session = await sessionPromise
+  const [config, data] = await Promise.all([
+    configPromise,
+    fetchData(session.user.id)
+  ])
+  return Response.json({ data, config })
+}
+```
+
+For operations with more complex dependency chains, use `better-all` to automatically maximize parallelism (see Dependency-Based Parallelization).

+---
+
+## Defer Await Until Needed
+
+Move `await` operations into the branches where they're actually used to avoid blocking code paths that don't need them.
+
+**Incorrect (blocks both branches):**
+
+```typescript
+async function handleRequest(userId: string, skipProcessing: boolean) {
+  const userData = await fetchUserData(userId)
+  
+  if (skipProcessing) {
+    // Returns immediately but still waited for userData
+    return { skipped: true }
+  }
+  
+  // Only this branch uses userData
+  return processUserData(userData)
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (only blocks when needed):**
+
+```typescript
+async function handleRequest(userId: string, skipProcessing: boolean) {
+  if (skipProcessing) {
+    // Returns immediately without waiting
+    return { skipped: true }
+  }
+  
+  // Fetch only when needed
+  const userData = await fetchUserData(userId)
+  return processUserData(userData)
+}
+```
+
+**Another example (early return optimization):**
+
+```typescript
+// Incorrect: always fetches permissions
+async function updateResource(resourceId: string, userId: string) {
+  const permissions = await fetchPermissions(userId)
+  const resource = await getResource(resourceId)
+  
+  if (!resource) {
+    return { error: 'Not found' }
+  }
+  
+  if (!permissions.canEdit) {
+    return { error: 'Forbidden' }
+  }
+  
+  return await updateResourceData(resource, permissions)
+}
+
+// Correct: fetches only when needed
+async function updateResource(resourceId: string, userId: string) {
+  const resource = await getResource(resourceId)
+  
+  if (!resource) {
+    return { error: 'Not found' }
+  }
+  
+  const permissions = await fetchPermissions(userId)
+  
+  if (!permissions.canEdit) {
+    return { error: 'Forbidden' }
+  }
+  
+  return await updateResourceData(resource, permissions)
+}
+```
+
+This optimization is especially valuable when the skipped branch is frequently taken, or when the deferred operation is expensive.

+  }
+})
+```
+
+**Alternative without extra dependencies:**
+
+We can also create all the promises first, and do `Promise.all()` at the end.
+
+```typescript
+const userPromise = fetchUser()

+const [user, config, profile] = await Promise.all([

+---
+
+## Strategic Suspense Boundaries
+
+Instead of awaiting data in async components before returning JSX, use Suspense boundaries to show the wrapper UI faster while data loads.
+
+**Incorrect (wrapper blocked by data fetching):**
+
+```tsx
+async function Page() {
+  const data = await fetchData() // Blocks entire page
+  
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <div>Sidebar</div>
+      <div>Header</div>
+      <div>
+        <DataDisplay data={data} />
+      </div>
+      <div>Footer</div>
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+The entire layout waits for data even though only the middle section needs it.
+
+**Correct (wrapper shows immediately, data streams in):**
+
+```tsx
+function Page() {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <div>Sidebar</div>
+      <div>Header</div>
+      <div>
+        <Suspense fallback={<Skeleton />}>
+          <DataDisplay />
+        </Suspense>
+      </div>
+      <div>Footer</div>
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+
+async function DataDisplay() {
+  const data = await fetchData() // Only blocks this component
+  return <div>{data.content}</div>
+}
+```
+
+Sidebar, Header, and Footer render immediately. Only DataDisplay waits for data.
+
+**Alternative (share promise across components):**
+
+```tsx
+function Page() {
+  // Start fetch immediately, but don't await
+  const dataPromise = fetchData()
+  
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <div>Sidebar</div>
+      <div>Header</div>
+      <Suspense fallback={<Skeleton />}>
+        <DataDisplay dataPromise={dataPromise} />
+        <DataSummary dataPromise={dataPromise} />
+      </Suspense>
+      <div>Footer</div>
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+
+function DataDisplay({ dataPromise }: { dataPromise: Promise<Data> }) {
+  const data = use(dataPromise) // Unwraps the promise
+  return <div>{data.content}</div>
+}
+
+function DataSummary({ dataPromise }: { dataPromise: Promise<Data> }) {
+  const data = use(dataPromise) // Reuses the same promise
+  return <div>{data.summary}</div>
+}
+```
+
+Both components share the same promise, so only one fetch occurs. Layout renders immediately while both components wait together.
+
+**When NOT to use this pattern:**
+
+- Critical data needed for layout decisions (affects positioning)
+- SEO-critical content above the fold
+- Small, fast queries where suspense overhead isn't worth it
+- When you want to avoid layout shift (loading → content jump)
+
+**Trade-off:** Faster initial paint vs potential layout shift. Choose based on your UX priorities.
