Performance Optimization Tips

Performance is crucial for great user experience. Here are tips for optimizing applications built with Things components:
Code Splitting: Use React's `lazy` and `Suspense` to split your code and load components only when needed:
const HeavyComponent = React.lazy(() => import('./HeavyComponent'))
<Suspense fallback={<Skeleton />}>
<HeavyComponent />
</Suspense>
Memoization: Use `React.memo` for components that receive the same props frequently:
const ExpensiveComponent = React.memo(({ data }) => {
// Expensive rendering
})
Avoid Unnecessary Re-renders: Use `useCallback` and `useMemo` to prevent unnecessary re-renders:
const handleClick = React.useCallback(() => {
// Handler logic
}, [dependencies])
Image Optimization: Use Next.js Image component instead of regular img tags for better performance:
import Image from 'next/image'
<Image src='/image.jpg' width={500} height={300} alt='Description' />
CSS Optimization: Tailwind automatically purges unused CSS in production builds. Make sure your build process includes this optimization.
Bundle Size: Since Things components are copy-paste, you only include the components you actually use. This keeps bundle sizes small.
Server-Side Rendering: Use Next.js SSR/SSG features to improve initial load times and SEO.
By following these practices, your applications will be fast, responsive, and provide excellent user experience.
