## 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 (
    <div>
      <h1>Dashboard</h1>
      <Suspense fallback={<ChartSkeleton />}>
        <HeavyChart data={chartData} />
      </Suspense>
      
      <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading visualization...</div>}>
        <DataVisualization />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  )
}

// Route-level code splitting with Next.js
// pages/dashboard.tsx
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'

const DynamicDashboard = dynamic(() => import('@/components/Dashboard'), {
  loading: () => <DashboardSkeleton />,
  ssr: false, // Disable SSR if not needed
})

export default function DashboardPage() {
  return <DynamicDashboard />
}

// Component-level splitting with conditions
const AdminPanel = dynamic(() => import('@/components/AdminPanel'), {
  loading: () => <div>Loading admin panel...</div>,
})

export function App({ user }: { user: User }) {
  return (
    <div>
      {user.isAdmin && (
        <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
          <AdminPanel />
        </Suspense>
      )}
    </div>
  )
}
```

### 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<ExpensiveComponentProps>(
  ({ 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 (
      <div>
        {processedData.map(item => (
          <DataItem
            key={item.id}
            item={item}
            onUpdate={handleUpdate}
          />
        ))}
      </div>
    )
  },
  // 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<ThemeContextValue | null>(null)

export function ThemeProvider({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  const [theme, setTheme] = useState<Theme>('light')

  // Memoize context value to prevent unnecessary re-renders
  const contextValue = useMemo(() => ({
    theme,
    setTheme,
    toggleTheme: () => setTheme(prev => prev === 'light' ? 'dark' : 'light'),
  }), [theme])

  return (
    <ThemeContext.Provider value={contextValue}>
      {children}
    </ThemeContext.Provider>
  )
}
```

### 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<VirtualizedListProps>(({
  items,
  height,
  itemHeight,
  renderItem,
}) => {
  const Row = memo(({ index, style }: { index: number; style: React.CSSProperties }) => (
    <div style={style}>
      {renderItem({ index, style })}
    </div>
  ))

  return (
    <List
      height={height}
      itemCount={items.length}
      itemSize={itemHeight}
      overscanCount={5} // Render extra items for smooth scrolling
    >
      {Row}
    </List>
  )
})

// 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 (
      <TableRow style={style}>
        <TableCell>{row.name}</TableCell>
        <TableCell>{row.email}</TableCell>
        <TableCell>{row.status}</TableCell>
      </TableRow>
    )
  }, [data])

  return (
    <div className="border rounded-md">
      <Table>
        <TableHeader>
          <TableRow>
            <TableHead>Name</TableHead>
            <TableHead>Email</TableHead>
            <TableHead>Status</TableHead>
          </TableRow>
        </TableHeader>
      </Table>
      <VirtualizedList
        items={data}
        height={400}
        itemHeight={50}
        renderItem={renderRow}
      />
    </div>
  )
}
```

### 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<HTMLInputElement>) => {
    const value = e.target.value
    setQuery(value)
    debouncedSearch(value)
  }, [debouncedSearch])

  // Cleanup debounced function
  React.useEffect(() => {
    return () => {
      debouncedSearch.cancel()
    }
  }, [debouncedSearch])

  return (
    <Input
      type="text"
      value={query}
      onChange={handleInputChange}
      placeholder={placeholder}
    />
  )
}
```

## 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<HTMLImageElement>(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 (
    <div className={cn("relative overflow-hidden", className)}>
      <img
        ref={imgRef}
        src={priority ? src : placeholder}
        alt={alt}
        className={cn(
          "transition-opacity duration-300",
          loaded ? "opacity-100" : "opacity-0"
        )}
        onLoad={() => setLoaded(true)}
        onError={() => setError(true)}
      />
      {!loaded && !error && (
        <div className="absolute inset-0 bg-muted animate-pulse" />
      )}
      {error && (
        <div className="absolute inset-0 flex items-center justify-center bg-muted">
          <span className="text-muted-foreground">Failed to load</span>
        </div>
      )}
    </div>
  )
}
```

### 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<any>) {
  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 (
    <div>
      <Button
        onMouseEnter={() => setShowDashboard(true)}
        onClick={() => router.push('/dashboard')}
      >
        Go to Dashboard
      </Button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

## 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<HTMLElement>,
  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<T>(
  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"
    }
  ]
}
```

## Best Practices

1. **Bundle Optimization**
   - Use tree shaking for all dependencies

   - Optimize re-render patterns
   - Implement virtual scrolling for large lists
   - Debounce user inputs

3. **Loading Performance**
   - Implement code splitting strategically
   - Use lazy loading for non-critical components
   - Optimize critical rendering path
   - Preload important resources
   - Implement progressive loading

4. **Monitoring**
   - Track Core Web Vitals
   - Monitor bundle sizes
   - Set up performance alerts
   - Use React DevTools Profiler
   - Implement error boundaries

Remember: Performance optimization is an ongoing process - measure, optimize, and monitor continuously!
