Overview

Comprehensive performance optimization guide for React and Next.js applications, containing 40+ rules across 8 categories. Rules are 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

Priority-Ordered Guidelines

Rules are prioritized by impact:

Quick Reference

Critical Patterns (Apply First)

Eliminate Waterfalls:

• Defer await until needed (move into branches)
• Use Promise.all() for independent async operations
• Start promises early, await late
• Use better-all for partial dependencies
• Use Suspense boundaries to stream content

Reduce Bundle Size:

• Avoid barrel file imports (import directly from source)
• Use next/dynamic for heavy components
• Defer non-critical third-party libraries
• Preload based on user intent

High-Impact Server Patterns

• Use React.cache() for per-request deduplication
• Use LRU cache for cross-request caching
• Minimize serialization at RSC boundaries
• Parallelize data fetching with component composition

Medium-Impact Client Patterns

• Use SWR for automatic request deduplication
• Defer state reads to usage point
• Use lazy state initialization for expensive values
• Use derived state subscriptions
• Apply startTransition for non-urgent updates

Rendering Patterns

• Animate SVG wrappers, not SVG elements directly
• Use content-visibility: auto for long lists
• Prevent hydration mismatch with inline scripts
• Use explicit conditional rendering (?: not &&)

JavaScript Patterns

• Batch DOM CSS changes via classes
• Build index maps for repeated lookups
• Cache repeated function calls
• Use toSorted() instead of sort() for immutability
• Early length check for array comparisons
