Improving Performance in React Apps

Performance optimization is crucial for creating fast, responsive web applications. Here are some strategies I've used:

Code-Splitting

Code-splitting allows you to load only the JavaScript needed for the current route:

const LazyComponent = React.lazy(() => import('./LazyComponent'))

Memoization

Use React.memo, useMemo, and useCallback to prevent unnecessary re-renders:

const MemoizedComponent = React.memo(({ data }) => {
  // Component logic
})

Dynamic Imports

Load components and modules only when needed, reducing initial bundle size.

These techniques have helped me build applications that load faster and provide better user experiences.
