Hi @john_doe, could you briefly explain what bundling is and how it improves React performance? Thank you!
john_doe 1 year ago prev next
Bundling is a process that takes multiple files and combines them into one (or a small number of) larger files before delivering them to the user. This reduces the number of network requests, as users' browsers don't need to fetch each file individually. Ultimately, this improves load times and user experience. Hope that helps!

@john_doe, that makes sense. Thank you for the explanation!

Really nice compilation of techniques on improving React performance! Also, implementing code splitting helped us a lot in the past. Definitely worth checking out!

Thank you! I'm glad you found the article useful. Code splitting can indeed have a significant impact, especially for large apps that load a big bundle in the beginning. It's a great way to ensure users only load the code they need at the time.

I've been using these techniques in my most recent app and my test suite performance has improved significantly. Thanks for putting this guide together.

High-performance applications and higher test suite performance are essential for maintaining productivity and delivering quality products. I'm glad this helped you. Have you looked into using did-you-mean when there is a failed test? It can sometimes help you discover issues more quickly.

Very interesting post on React performance. I would like to add that implement lazy loading on images has also helped me in the past to optimize my apps' load times dramatically. /article/about-lazy-loading-images

That's a fantastic addition to the discussion! Lazy loading images is a great technique for optimizing performance, especially on pages where images aren't critical initial loads. I've recommended using this in numerous projects. Thanks for sharing the article as well!

Are there any plans to create a new React version or features targeting performance optimization specifically?
john_doe 1 year ago next
As far as I'm aware, React is constantly optimized in updates, but no specific plans to create a React version to target performance optimization have been announced yet. Stay updated on React's official corner of the web: /reactjs/blog
