## Bundle Analysis and Optimization
### Bundle Analysis Setup
```bash
# Install bundle analyzer
npm install --save-dev @next/bundle-analyzer
npm install --save-dev webpack-bundle-analyzer
# Analyze bundle composition
npm run build
npx webpack-bundle-analyzer .next/static/chunks/*.js
# Alternative: Use source-map-explorer
npm install --save-dev source-map-explorer
npm run build && npx source-map-explorer 'build/static/js/*.js'
```
### Tree Shaking Optimization
```tsx
// ❌ Bad: Imports entire library
import * as Icons from 'lucide-react'
import _ from 'lodash'
// ✅ Good: Import only what you need
import { ChevronDown, Search, User } from 'lucide-react'
import { debounce } from 'lodash-es'
// Create optimized icon exports
// icons/index.ts
export {
ChevronDown,
Search,
User,
Plus,
Minus,
X,
Check,
} from 'lucide-react'
// Usage
import { Search, User } from '@/icons'
// Optimize utility imports
// utils/index.ts
export { cn } from './cn'
export { formatDate } from './date'
export { debounce } from './debounce'
// Instead of exporting everything
// export * from './date'
// export * from './string'
// export * from './array'
```
### Dynamic Imports and Code Splitting
```tsx
// Lazy load heavy components
const HeavyChart = React.lazy(() =>
import('@/components/charts/HeavyChart').then(module => ({
default: module.HeavyChart
}))
)
const DataVisualization = React.lazy(() =>
import('@/components/DataVisualization')
)
// Lazy load with loading state
export function DashboardPage() {
return (
Dashboard
}>
Loading visualization...}>
)
}
// Route-level code splitting with Next.js
// pages/dashboard.tsx
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'
const DynamicDashboard = dynamic(() => import('@/components/Dashboard'), {
loading: () => ,
ssr: false, // Disable SSR if not needed
})
export default function DashboardPage() {
return
}
// Component-level splitting with conditions
const AdminPanel = dynamic(() => import('@/components/AdminPanel'), {
loading: () => Loading admin panel...
,
})
export function App({ user }: { user: User }) {
return (
{user.isAdmin && (
Loading...
}>
)}
)
}
```
### Optimized Component Imports
```tsx
// Create barrel exports with conditional loading
// components/ui/index.ts
export { Button } from './button'
export { Input } from './input'
export { Card, CardContent, CardHeader, CardTitle } from './card'
// Avoid deep imports in production
// Instead of importing from nested paths:
// import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button/Button'
// Use:
import { Button } from '@/components/ui'
// Create selective imports for large component libraries
// components/data-table/index.ts
export type { DataTableProps } from './DataTable'
// Lazy load table components
export const DataTable = React.lazy(() =>
import('./DataTable').then(m => ({ default: m.DataTable }))
)
export const DataTableToolbar = React.lazy(() =>
import('./DataTableToolbar').then(m => ({ default: m.DataTableToolbar }))
)
```
## Component Performance Optimization
### Memoization Strategies
```tsx
import { memo, useMemo, useCallback, useState } from 'react'
// Memoize expensive components
interface ExpensiveComponentProps {
data: ComplexData[]
onUpdate: (id: string, value: any) => void
}
export const ExpensiveComponent = memo(
({ data, onUpdate }) => {
// Expensive computation
const processedData = useMemo(() => {
return data.map(item => ({
...item,
computed: heavyComputation(item),
}))
}, [data])
// Memoize callbacks
const handleUpdate = useCallback((id: string, value: any) => {
onUpdate(id, value)
}, [onUpdate])
return (
{processedData.map(item => (
))}
)
},
// Custom comparison function
(prevProps, nextProps) => {
return (
prevProps.data.length === nextProps.data.length &&
prevProps.data.every((item, index) =>
item.id === nextProps.data[index].id &&
item.version === nextProps.data[index].version
)
)
}
)
// Optimize context providers
const ThemeContext = React.createContext(null)
export function ThemeProvider({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
const [theme, setTheme] = useState('light')
// Memoize context value to prevent unnecessary re-renders
const contextValue = useMemo(() => ({
theme,
setTheme,
toggleTheme: () => setTheme(prev => prev === 'light' ? 'dark' : 'light'),
}), [theme])
return (
{children}
)
}
```
### Virtual Scrolling for Large Lists
```tsx
import { FixedSizeList as List } from 'react-window'
import { memo } from 'react'
interface VirtualizedListProps {
items: any[]
height: number
itemHeight: number
renderItem: (props: { index: number; style: React.CSSProperties }) => React.ReactNode
}
export const VirtualizedList = memo(({
items,
height,
itemHeight,
renderItem,
}) => {
const Row = memo(({ index, style }: { index: number; style: React.CSSProperties }) => (
{renderItem({ index, style })}
))
return (
{Row}
)
})
// Usage with shadcn/ui Table
export function VirtualizedTable({ data }: { data: TableRow[] }) {
const renderRow = useCallback(({ index, style }: { index: number; style: React.CSSProperties }) => {
const row = data[index]
return (
{row.name}
{row.email}
{row.status}
)
}, [data])
return (
)
}
```
### Debounced Inputs and Search
```tsx
import { useMemo, useState, useCallback } from 'react'
import { debounce } from 'lodash-es'
import { Input } from '@/components/ui/input'
export function OptimizedSearch({
onSearch,
placeholder = "Search...",
debounceMs = 300,
}: {
onSearch: (query: string) => void
placeholder?: string
debounceMs?: number
}) {
const [query, setQuery] = useState('')
// Debounce search function
const debouncedSearch = useMemo(
() => debounce(onSearch, debounceMs),
[onSearch, debounceMs]
)
const handleInputChange = useCallback((e: React.ChangeEvent) => {
const value = e.target.value
setQuery(value)
debouncedSearch(value)
}, [debouncedSearch])
// Cleanup debounced function
React.useEffect(() => {
return () => {
debouncedSearch.cancel()
}
}, [debouncedSearch])
return (
)
}
```
## Loading Performance Optimization
### Optimized Image Loading
```tsx
import { useState, useRef, useEffect } from 'react'
import { cn } from '@/lib/utils'
interface OptimizedImageProps {
src: string
alt: string
className?: string
placeholder?: string
priority?: boolean
}
export function OptimizedImage({
src,
alt,
className,
placeholder = 'data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMjAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjIwMCIgeG1sbnM9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnLzIwMDAvc3ZnIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIiBmaWxsPSIjY2NjIi8+PC9zdmc+',
priority = false,
}: OptimizedImageProps) {
const [loaded, setLoaded] = useState(false)
const [error, setError] = useState(false)
const imgRef = useRef(null)
useEffect(() => {
if (!imgRef.current || priority) return
const observer = new IntersectionObserver(
([entry]) => {
if (entry.isIntersecting) {
const img = imgRef.current
if (img && !img.src) {
img.src = src
}
observer.disconnect()
}
},
{ threshold: 0.1 }
)
observer.observe(imgRef.current)
return () => observer.disconnect()
}, [src, priority])
return (

setLoaded(true)}
onError={() => setError(true)}
/>
{!loaded && !error && (
)}
{error && (
Failed to load
)}
)
}
```
### Resource Preloading
```tsx
// Preload critical resources
export function useResourcePreload() {
useEffect(() => {
// Preload critical fonts
const fontLink = document.createElement('link')
fontLink.rel = 'preload'
fontLink.href = '/fonts/inter-var.woff2'
fontLink.as = 'font'
fontLink.type = 'font/woff2'
fontLink.crossOrigin = 'anonymous'
document.head.appendChild(fontLink)
// Preload critical images
const criticalImages = [
'/images/logo.svg',
'/images/hero-bg.jpg',
]
criticalImages.forEach(src => {
const link = document.createElement('link')
link.rel = 'preload'
link.href = src
link.as = 'image'
document.head.appendChild(link)
})
// Prefetch next page resources
const prefetchLink = document.createElement('link')
prefetchLink.rel = 'prefetch'
prefetchLink.href = '/dashboard'
document.head.appendChild(prefetchLink)
}, [])
}
// Smart component preloading
export function useComponentPreload(condition: boolean, importFn: () => Promise) {
useEffect(() => {
if (condition) {
importFn().catch(console.error)
}
}, [condition, importFn])
}
// Usage
export function HomePage() {
const [showDashboard, setShowDashboard] = useState(false)
// Preload dashboard component when user hovers over the link
useComponentPreload(
showDashboard,
() => import('@/components/Dashboard')
)
return (
)
}
```
## Performance Monitoring
### Performance Metrics Tracking
```tsx
import { useEffect } from 'react'
export function usePerformanceMetrics() {
useEffect(() => {
// Measure component render time
const startTime = performance.now()
return () => {
const endTime = performance.now()
const renderTime = endTime - startTime
if (renderTime > 16) { // 60fps threshold
console.warn(`Slow render detected: ${renderTime}ms`)
}
// Send metrics to monitoring service
if (typeof window !== 'undefined' && window.gtag) {
window.gtag('event', 'timing_complete', {
name: 'component_render',
value: renderTime,
})
}
}
})
}
// Bundle size monitoring
export function trackBundleSize() {
if (typeof window !== 'undefined' && 'performance' in window) {
window.addEventListener('load', () => {
const navigation = performance.getEntriesByType('navigation')[0] as PerformanceNavigationTiming
const resources = performance.getEntriesByType('resource') as PerformanceResourceTiming[]
const jsSize = resources
.filter(resource => resource.name.includes('.js'))
.reduce((total, resource) => total + (resource.transferSize || 0), 0)
const cssSize = resources
.filter(resource => resource.name.includes('.css'))
.reduce((total, resource) => total + (resource.transferSize || 0), 0)
console.log('Bundle sizes:', {
js: `${(jsSize / 1024).toFixed(2)}KB`,
css: `${(cssSize / 1024).toFixed(2)}KB`,
total: `${((jsSize + cssSize) / 1024).toFixed(2)}KB`,
})
})
}
}
```
### Memory Leak Prevention
```tsx
// Cleanup patterns
export function useEventListener(
eventName: string,
handler: (event: Event) => void,
element: HTMLElement | Window = window
) {
const savedHandler = useRef(handler)
useEffect(() => {
savedHandler.current = handler
}, [handler])
useEffect(() => {
const eventListener = (event: Event) => savedHandler.current(event)
element.addEventListener(eventName, eventListener)
return () => {
element.removeEventListener(eventName, eventListener)
}
}, [eventName, element])
}
// Intersection Observer cleanup
export function useIntersectionObserver(
elementRef: React.RefObject,
callback: (entries: IntersectionObserverEntry[]) => void,
options?: IntersectionObserverInit
) {
useEffect(() => {
const element = elementRef.current
if (!element) return
const observer = new IntersectionObserver(callback, options)
observer.observe(element)
return () => {
observer.disconnect()
}
}, [callback, options])
}
// Subscription cleanup
export function useSubscription(
subscribe: (callback: (value: T) => void) => () => void,
callback: (value: T) => void
) {
useEffect(() => {
const unsubscribe = subscribe(callback)
return unsubscribe
}, [subscribe, callback])
}
```
## Webpack/Build Optimization
### Webpack Configuration
```javascript
// next.config.js
const withBundleAnalyzer = require('@next/bundle-analyzer')({
enabled: process.env.ANALYZE === 'true',
})
module.exports = withBundleAnalyzer({
// Enable SWC minification
swcMinify: true,
// Optimize images
images: {
formats: ['image/webp', 'image/avif'],
minimumCacheTTL: 31536000,
},
// Optimize builds
experimental: {
optimizeCss: true,
optimizePackageImports: ['lucide-react', '@radix-ui/react-icons'],
},
webpack: (config, { dev, isServer }) => {
// Split chunks optimization
if (!dev && !isServer) {
config.optimization.splitChunks = {
chunks: 'all',
cacheGroups: {
vendor: {
test: /[\\/]node_modules[\\/]/,
name: 'vendors',
chunks: 'all',
},
common: {
name: 'common',
minChunks: 2,
chunks: 'all',
},
},
}
}
// Tree shaking optimization
config.optimization.usedExports = true
config.optimization.sideEffects = false
return config
},
})
```
### Performance Budget
```json
// performance-budget.json
{
"budget": [
{
"type": "initial",
"maximumWarning": "500kb",
"maximumError": "1mb"
},
{
"type": "anyComponentStyle",
"maximumWarning": "50kb",
"maximumError": "100kb"
},
{
"type": "bundle",
"name": "vendor",
"maximumWarning": "300kb",
"maximumError": "500kb"
}
]
}
```
