React performance: slow apps, unnecessary re-renders, React.memo, PureComponent, code splitting, lazy loading, Suspense, virtualization, profiling, and bundle size

React apps become slow when they re-render too much, do expensive work in render, or ship more code and DOM than needed.

  • Measure before optimizing
  • Code splitting and virtualization reduce big costs
  • Memoization helps only when it prevents meaningful work
