-# Performance Optimization
-
-## Overview
-
-Measure before optimizing. Performance work without measurement is guessing — and guessing leads to premature optimization that adds complexity without improving what matters. Profile first, identify the actual bottleneck, fix it, measure again. Optimize only what measurements prove matters.
-
-## When to Use
-
-- Performance requirements exist in the spec (load time budgets, response time SLAs)
-- Users or monitoring report slow behavior
-- Core Web Vitals scores are below thresholds
-- You suspect a change introduced a regression
-- Building features that handle large datasets or high traffic
-
-**When NOT to use:** Don't optimize before you have evidence of a problem. Premature optimization adds complexity that costs more than the performance it gains.
-
-## Core Web Vitals Targets
-
-| Metric | Good | Needs Improvement | Poor |
-|--------|------|-------------------|------|
-| **LCP** (Largest Contentful Paint) | ≤ 2.5s | ≤ 4.0s | > 4.0s |
-| **INP** (Interaction to Next Paint) | ≤ 200ms | ≤ 500ms | > 500ms |
-| **CLS** (Cumulative Layout Shift) | ≤ 0.1 | ≤ 0.25 | > 0.25 |
-
-## The Optimization Workflow
-
-```
-1. MEASURE  → Establish baseline with real data
-2. IDENTIFY → Find the actual bottleneck (not assumed)
-3. FIX      → Address the specific bottleneck
-4. VERIFY   → Measure again, confirm improvement
-5. GUARD    → Add monitoring or tests to prevent regression
-```
-
-### Step 1: Measure
-
-**Frontend:**
-```bash
-# Lighthouse in Chrome DevTools (or CI)
-# Chrome DevTools → Performance tab → Record
-# Chrome DevTools MCP → Performance trace
-
-# Web Vitals library in code
-import { onLCP, onINP, onCLS } from 'web-vitals';
-
-onLCP(console.log);
-onINP(console.log);
-onCLS(console.log);
-```
-
-**Backend:**
-```bash
-# Response time logging
-# Application Performance Monitoring (APM)
-# Database query logging with timing
-
-# Simple timing
-console.time('db-query');
-const result = await db.query(...);
-console.timeEnd('db-query');
-```
-
-### Where to Start Measuring
-
-Use the symptom to decide what to measure first:
-
-```
-What is slow?
-├── First page load
-│   ├── Large bundle? --> Measure bundle size, check code splitting
-│   ├── Slow server response? --> Measure TTFB, check API/database
-│   └── Render-blocking resources? --> Check network waterfall for CSS/JS blocking
-├── Interaction feels sluggish
-│   ├── UI freezes on click? --> Profile main thread, look for long tasks (>50ms)
-│   ├── Form input lag? --> Check re-renders, controlled component overhead
-│   └── Animation jank? --> Check layout thrashing, forced reflows
-├── Page after navigation
-│   ├── Data loading? --> Measure API response times, check for waterfalls
-│   └── Client rendering? --> Profile component render time, check for N+1 fetches
-└── Backend / API
-    ├── Single endpoint slow? --> Profile database queries, check indexes
-    ├── All endpoints slow? --> Check connection pool, memory, CPU
-    └── Intermittent slowness? --> Check for lock contention, GC pauses, external deps
-```
-
-### Step 2: Identify the Bottleneck
-
-Common bottlenecks by category:
-
-**Frontend:**
-
-| Symptom | Likely Cause | Investigation |
-|---------|-------------|---------------|
-| Slow LCP | Large images, render-blocking resources, slow server | Check network waterfall, image sizes |
-| High CLS | Images without dimensions, late-loading content, font shifts | Check layout shift attribution |
-| Poor INP | Heavy JavaScript on main thread, large DOM updates | Check long tasks in Performance trace |
-| Slow initial load | Large bundle, many network requests | Check bundle size, code splitting |
-
-**Backend:**
-
-| Symptom | Likely Cause | Investigation |
-|---------|-------------|---------------|
-| Slow API responses | N+1 queries, missing indexes, unoptimized queries | Check database query log |
-| Memory growth | Leaked references, unbounded caches, large payloads | Heap snapshot analysis |
-| CPU spikes | Synchronous heavy computation, regex backtracking | CPU profiling |
-| High latency | Missing caching, redundant computation, network hops | Trace requests through the stack |
-
-### Step 3: Fix Common Anti-Patterns
-
-#### N+1 Queries (Backend)
-
-```typescript
-// BAD: N+1 — one query per task for the owner
-const tasks = await db.tasks.findMany();
-for (const task of tasks) {
-  task.owner = await db.users.findUnique({ where: { id: task.ownerId } });
-}
-
-// GOOD: Single query with join/include
-const tasks = await db.tasks.findMany({
-  include: { owner: true },
-});
-```
-
-#### Unbounded Data Fetching
-
-```typescript
-// BAD: Fetching all records
-const allTasks = await db.tasks.findMany();
-
-// GOOD: Paginated with limits
-const tasks = await db.tasks.findMany({
-  take: 20,
-  skip: (page - 1) * 20,
-  orderBy: { createdAt: 'desc' },
-});
-```
-
-#### Missing Image Optimization (Frontend)
-
-```html
-<!-- BAD: No dimensions, no lazy loading, no responsive sizes -->
-<img src="/hero.jpg" />
-
-<!-- GOOD: Responsive, lazy-loaded, properly sized -->
-<img
-  src="/hero.jpg"
-  srcset="/hero-400.webp 400w, /hero-800.webp 800w, /hero-1200.webp 1200w"
-  sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 50vw"
-  width="1200"
-  height="600"
-  loading="lazy"
-  alt="Hero image description"
-/>
-```
-
-#### Unnecessary Re-renders (React)
-
-```tsx
-// BAD: Creates new object on every render, causing children to re-render
-function TaskList() {
-  return <TaskFilters options={{ sortBy: 'date', order: 'desc' }} />;
-}
-
-// GOOD: Stable reference
-const DEFAULT_OPTIONS = { sortBy: 'date', order: 'desc' } as const;
-function TaskList() {
-  return <TaskFilters options={DEFAULT_OPTIONS} />;
-}
-
-// Use React.memo for expensive components
-const TaskItem = React.memo(function TaskItem({ task }: Props) {
-  return <div>{/* expensive render */}</div>;
-});
-
-// Use useMemo for expensive computations
-function TaskStats({ tasks }: Props) {
-  const stats = useMemo(() => calculateStats(tasks), [tasks]);
-  return <div>{stats.completed} / {stats.total}</div>;
-}
-```
-
-#### Large Bundle Size
-
-```typescript
-// BAD: Importing entire library
-import { format } from 'date-fns';
-
-// GOOD: Tree-shakable import (if the library supports it)
-import { format } from 'date-fns/format';
-
-// GOOD: Dynamic import for heavy, rarely-used features
-const ChartLibrary = lazy(() => import('./ChartLibrary'));
-```
-
-#### Missing Caching (Backend)
-
-```typescript
-// Cache frequently-read, rarely-changed data
-const CACHE_TTL = 5 * 60 * 1000; // 5 minutes
-let cachedConfig: AppConfig | null = null;
-let cacheExpiry = 0;
-
-async function getAppConfig(): Promise<AppConfig> {
-  if (cachedConfig && Date.now() < cacheExpiry) {
-    return cachedConfig;
-  }
-  cachedConfig = await db.config.findFirst();
-  cacheExpiry = Date.now() + CACHE_TTL;
-  return cachedConfig;
-}
-
-// HTTP caching headers for static assets
-app.use('/static', express.static('public', {
-  maxAge: '1y',           // Cache for 1 year
-  immutable: true,        // Never revalidate (use content hashing in filenames)
-}));
-
-// Cache-Control for API responses
-res.set('Cache-Control', 'public, max-age=300'); // 5 minutes
-```
-
-## Bundle & Runtime Analysis
-
-### Bundle Analysis
-- **Large Dependencies**: Check top of bundle for oversized libraries.
-- **Duplicate Code**: Look for duplicate modules in multiple chunks.
-- **Tree Shaking**: Ensure unused exports are being removed.
-- **Code Splitting**: Move heavy routes out of the main bundle.
-
-### Runtime Profiling (DevTools Performance)
-- **Long Tasks (>50ms)**: Identify UI blocking operations.
-- **Layout Thrashing**: Find forced reflows during animations/scrolling.
-- **Memory Leaks**: Look for growing heap size or detached DOM nodes.
-
-## Performance Budget
-
-Set budgets and enforce them:
-
-```
-JavaScript bundle: < 200KB gzipped (initial load)
-CSS: < 50KB gzipped
-Images: < 200KB per image (above the fold)
-Fonts: < 100KB total
-API response time: < 200ms (p95)
-Time to Interactive: < 3.5s on 4G
-Lighthouse Performance score: ≥ 90
-```
-
-**Enforce in CI:**
-```bash
-# Bundle size check
-npx bundlesize --config bundlesize.config.json
-
-# Lighthouse CI
-npx lhci autorun
-```
-

-
-
-## Common Rationalizations
-
-| Rationalization | Reality |
-|---|---|
-| "We'll optimize later" | Performance debt compounds. Fix obvious anti-patterns now, defer micro-optimizations. |
-| "It's fast on my machine" | Your machine isn't the user's. Profile on representative hardware and networks. |
-| "This optimization is obvious" | If you didn't measure, you don't know. Profile first. |
-| "Users won't notice 100ms" | Research shows 100ms delays impact conversion rates. Users notice more than you think. |
-| "The framework handles performance" | Frameworks prevent some issues but can't fix N+1 queries or oversized bundles. |
-
-## Red Flags
-
-- Optimization without profiling data to justify it
-- N+1 query patterns in data fetching
-- List endpoints without pagination
-- Images without dimensions, lazy loading, or responsive sizes
-- Bundle size growing without review
-- No performance monitoring in production
-- `React.memo` and `useMemo` everywhere (overusing is as bad as underusing)
-
-## Verification
-
-After any performance-related change:
-
-- [ ] Before and after measurements exist (specific numbers)
-- [ ] The specific bottleneck is identified and addressed
-- [ ] Core Web Vitals are within "Good" thresholds
-- [ ] Bundle size hasn't increased significantly
-- [ ] No N+1 queries in new data fetching code
-- [ ] Performance budget passes in CI (if configured)
-- [ ] Existing tests still pass (optimization didn't break behavior)
