Before applying any optimizations, the performance of the application was analyzed using React DevTools Profiler. The following interactive tasks were evaluated:
- 🔍 Searching countries by partial name match
- 🌍 Filtering countries by region
- 🔢 Sorting countries by population and name
- 🔄 Resetting all filters
After the analysis, I implemented several optimizations to improve performance:
- 🧩 React.memo to prevent unnecessary re-renders of functional components
- 🔍 useMemo to memoize expensive calculations
- 🔄 useCallback to memoize callbacks and prevent unnecessary re-renders
- 🔧 Improved props to ensure only relevant data is passed to components
- 🌳 Optimized the location of components in the virtual DOM tree to reduce unnecessary re-renders and improve rendering efficiency
These tasks were analyzed to assess the app's responsiveness and identify potential performance improvements.
✅ Achieved Performance Gains:
- 🚀 Rendering efficiency improved by ~50% overall across common interactions.
- 🚀 Filtering & sorting operations are significantly faster, especially filtering by region (77% speedup).
- ⚖️ Resetting filters remained stable, with no meaningful performance regression.
- 🔹 Unnecessary re-renders prevented, components now update only when necessary, thanks to precise memoization with specific props. See 📷 React Profiler: Before vs. After.
- 🌳 Optimized the location of components in the virtual DOM tree to reduce unnecessary re-renders and improve rendering efficiency. See 📷 React Profiler: Before vs. After.
