How to Optimize Daily-Updating Puzzle Games Without Slowing Down the Website?

Hi developers ๐Ÿ‘‹

Iโ€™m currently experimenting with a browser-based word puzzle project and recently started facing some performance issues when updating game content daily.

The project loads dynamic puzzle data, scoring info, and user-related updates through APIs. Everything works fine initially, but after adding more daily updates and interactive features, I noticed:

slower page loading
repeated API requests
caching inconsistencies
unnecessary JavaScript rendering

Iโ€™ve been testing different approaches on Blossom Word Game
and trying to figure out the cleanest setup for performance optimization.

Some things Iโ€™m considering:

local API caching
static JSON generation
CDN caching
lightweight frontend rendering
reducing duplicate fetch requests

For developers whoโ€™ve worked on browser-based games or dynamic content websites:

Whatโ€™s the best way to handle frequently updated game data without affecting speed and UX?

Would love to hear your recommendations!
