Performance Optimization

Optimize JavaScript code for better performance, smaller bundle sizes, and faster execution.

Bundle Optimization

Code Example
// webpack.config.js - Bundle optimization
module.exports = {
    optimization: {
        splitChunks: {
            chunks: 'all',
            cacheGroups: {
                vendor: {
                    test: /[\/]node_modules[\/]/,
                    name: 'vendors',
                    chunks: 'all'
                }
            }
        },
        usedExports: true,
        sideEffects: false
    },
    plugins: [
        new TerserPlugin({
            terserOptions: {
                compress: {
                    drop_console: true,
                    drop_debugger: true
                }
            }
        })
    ]
};

Tree Shaking

Code Example
// ES6 modules for tree shaking
// utils.js
export const add = (a, b) => a + b;
export const multiply = (a, b) => a * b;
export const divide = (a, b) => a / b;

// main.js
import { add } from './utils.js';
// Only 'add' function will be included in bundle

// CommonJS (not tree-shakeable)
const utils = require('./utils');
// Entire utils module will be included

Lazy Loading

Code Example
// Dynamic imports for lazy loading
const loadModule = async () => {
    const module = await import('./heavy-module.js');
    return module.default;
};

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

// Route-based code splitting
const routes = [
    {
        path: '/',
        component: () => import('./pages/Home')
    },
    {
        path: '/about',
        component: () => import('./pages/About')
    }
];

Memory Optimization

Code Example
// Memory leak prevention
class DataProcessor {
    constructor() {
        this.cache = new Map();
        this.cleanupInterval = setInterval(() => {
            this.cleanupCache();
        }, 60000); // Clean every minute
    }
    
    processData(data) {
        const key = JSON.stringify(data);
        if (this.cache.has(key)) {
            return this.cache.get(key);
        }
        
        const result = this.expensiveOperation(data);
        this.cache.set(key, result);
        return result;
    }
    
    cleanupCache() {
        // Remove old entries
        const now = Date.now();
        for (const [key, value] of this.cache) {
            if (now - value.timestamp > 300000) { // 5 minutes
                this.cache.delete(key);
            }
        }
    }
    
    destroy() {
        clearInterval(this.cleanupInterval);
        this.cache.clear();
    }
