# React Performance Optimization Performance is crucial for user experience. Let's explore techniques to make your React apps blazing fast. ## Understanding Re-renders React re-renders a component when its state or props change. Unnecessary re-renders are the most common performance issue. ## Memoization ### React.memo Wrap components that receive the same props frequently: ```tsx const ExpensiveComponent = React.memo(({ data }) => { return
{/* expensive rendering */}
}) ``` ### useMemo and useCallback ```tsx const expensiveValue = useMemo(() => computeExpensiveValue(data), [data]) const handleClick = useCallback(() => doSomething(id), [id]) ``` ## Code Splitting Split your bundle to load only what's needed: ```tsx const HeavyComponent = lazy(() => import('./HeavyComponent')) function App() { return ( }> ) } ``` ## Virtual Lists For long lists, use virtualization: ```bash npm install @tanstack/react-virtual ``` ## Profiling Your App Use React DevTools Profiler to identify bottlenecks. ## Conclusion Performance optimization is an ongoing process. Measure first, then optimize based on real data.
