React is usually plenty fast by default


React is usually plenty fast by default. I find performance optimizations are rarely necessary.

If a React app is slow, a common culprit is rendering tons of frequently changing data, all at once.

That’s rarely a good UX.

So, it’s not a perf problem. It’s a design problem.
In these situations, a common design solution is to help the user find the needle in the haystack.

Search, sort, filter, tag, paginate, etc.

Humans can’t absorb 1000’s of values at once. So, make it to easy to find the signal within the noise.
