  • Virtualize Long Lists (hundreds or thousands of rows) - react-window / react-virtualized
  • Avoid Reconciliation / Re-randor - shouldComponentUpdate
  • Not Mutating Data
  • Code Splitting - Multiple Chunk Files
  • Lazy Loading - Dynamic import
  • Lazy loading images in React
  • Use Route-Based Code Splitting
  • Avoid dangerouslySetInnerHTML
  • Dependency optimization - Moment.js / loadash / UI lib
  • Use React Fragments to Avoid Extra Tag
  • Avoid Async Initialization in componentWillMount() use componentDidMount()
  • Memoize React Components - React.PureComponent / React.memo
  • useMemo
  • useCallback
  • Throttling and Debouncing Events
  • Create Error Boundaries for the Components
  • Avoid using Index as Key for map - Using a Unique Key for Iteration
  • CSS Animation Instead of JavaScript Animation
  • Analyzing and Optimizing Your Webpack Bundle Bloat
