Part 1: Next.js Optimization

1.1 Image Optimization

// ✅ GOOD: Use Next.js Image component
import Image from "next/image";

export function CharacterImage({ src, name }: { src: string; name: string }) {
  return (
    <Image
      src={src}
      alt={name}
      width={400}
      height={300}
      priority={false}
      loading="lazy"
      placeholder="blur"
      blurDataURL="data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRg..."
      className="rounded-lg object-cover"
    />
  );
}

// ✅ GOOD: Priority for above-the-fold images
export function HeroImage() {
  return (
    <Image
      src="/hero.jpg"
      alt="The Simpsons"
      width={1920}
      height={1080}
      priority // Preloads the image
      fetchPriority="high"
      className="w-full"
    />
  );
}

// ✅ GOOD: Responsive images with sizes
export function ResponsiveImage({ src }: { src: string }) {
  return (
    <Image
      src={src}
      alt=""
      fill
      sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 50vw, 33vw"
      className="object-cover"
    />
  );
}

1.2 Font Optimization

// app/layout.tsx
import { Inter } from "next/font/google";

// ✅ GOOD: Load subset and display swap
const inter = Inter({
  subsets: ["latin"],
  display: "swap",
  variable: "--font-inter",
  preload: true,
});

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en" className={inter.variable}>
      <body className="font-sans">{children}</body>
    </html>
  );
}

1.3 Script Optimization

import Script from "next/script";

export default function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <>
      {children}
      
      {/* ✅ GOOD: Load analytics after page is interactive */}
      <Script
        src="https://analytics.example.com/script.js"
        strategy="afterInteractive"
      />
      
      {/* ✅ GOOD: Load non-critical scripts on worker thread */}
      <Script
        src="https://widget.example.com/script.js"
        strategy="lazyOnload"
      />
      
      {/* ✅ GOOD: Inline critical scripts */}
      <Script id="critical-script" strategy="beforeInteractive">
        {`window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];`}
      </Script>
    </>
  );
}

1.4 Metadata Optimization

// app/layout.tsx
import { Metadata } from "next";

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: {
    template: "%s | The Simpsons API",
    default: "The Simpsons API",
  },
  description: "Explore characters, episodes, and more from The Simpsons",
  // Preconnect to external resources
  other: {
    "link": [
      { rel: "preconnect", href: "https://fonts.googleapis.com" },
      { rel: "dns-prefetch", href: "https://api.thesimpsonsapi.com" },
    ],
  },
};

Part 2: Caching Strategies

2.1 Route Segment Config

// app/characters/page.tsx

// Static generation (cached at build time)
export const dynamic = "force-static";
export const revalidate = 3600; // Revalidate every hour

// For dynamic data
export const dynamic = "force-dynamic";

// For streaming
export const runtime = "edge";

2.2 Data Caching with unstable_cache

import { unstable_cache } from "next/cache";
import { findAllCharacters } from "@/app/_lib/repositories";

const getCachedCharacters = unstable_cache(
  async () => {
    return findAllCharacters();
  },
  ["all-characters"],
  {
    revalidate: 3600, // 1 hour
    tags: ["characters"],
  }
);

export default async function CharactersPage() {
  const characters = await getCachedCharacters();
  return <CharacterList characters={characters} />;
}

2.3 Request Memoization

// Next.js automatically dedupes fetch requests in the same render
async function getCharacter(id: number) {
  const res = await fetch(`/api/characters/${id}`, {
    next: { revalidate: 3600 },
  });
  return res.json();
}

// These calls are deduplicated - only 1 request made
export default async function Page() {
  const [character1, character2] = await Promise.all([
    getCharacter(1), // Same request
    getCharacter(1), // Deduplicated!
  ]);
  return <div>{character1.name}</div>;
}

2.4 Static Generation with generateStaticParams

// app/characters/[id]/page.tsx
import { findAllCharacterIds } from "@/app/_lib/repositories";

export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const ids = await findAllCharacterIds();
  return ids.map((id) => ({ id: String(id) }));
}

export default async function CharacterPage({
  params,
}: {
  params: { id: string };
}) {
  const character = await findCharacterById(Number(params.id));
  return <CharacterDetail character={character} />;
}

Part 3: Bundle Optimization

3.1 Bundle Analysis

# Install analyzer
pnpm add -D @next/bundle-analyzer

# Update next.config.ts

// next.config.ts
import type { NextConfig } from "next";

const withBundleAnalyzer = require("@next/bundle-analyzer")({
  enabled: process.env.ANALYZE === "true",
});

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  // ... your config
};

export default withBundleAnalyzer(nextConfig);

# Analyze bundle
ANALYZE=true pnpm build

3.2 Dynamic Imports

import dynamic from "next/dynamic";

// ✅ GOOD: Lazy load heavy components
const HeavyChart = dynamic(() => import("@/components/HeavyChart"), {
  loading: () => <div className="h-64 animate-pulse bg-muted rounded" />,
  ssr: false, // Client-only component
});

// ✅ GOOD: Lazy load below-the-fold content
const Comments = dynamic(() => import("@/components/Comments"));

export function CharacterPage({ character }) {
  return (
    <div>
      <CharacterHeader character={character} />
      <Suspense fallback={<CommentsSkeleton />}>
        <Comments characterId={character.id} />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  );
}

3.3 Tree Shaking

// ❌ BAD: Imports entire library
import _ from "lodash";
_.debounce(fn, 300);

// ✅ GOOD: Import specific function
import debounce from "lodash/debounce";
debounce(fn, 300);

// ❌ BAD: Import all icons
import * as Icons from "lucide-react";

// ✅ GOOD: Import specific icons
import { Home, User, Settings } from "lucide-react";

3.4 Package Import Optimization

// next.config.ts
const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    optimizePackageImports: [
      "lucide-react",
      "@radix-ui/react-icons",
      "date-fns",
    ],
  },
};

Part 4: Rendering Optimization

4.1 Streaming with Suspense

import { Suspense } from "react";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      {/* Critical content - renders immediately */}
      <h1>Characters</h1>
      
      {/* Streamed content - loads progressively */}
      <Suspense fallback={<CharacterListSkeleton />}>
        <CharacterList />
      </Suspense>
      
      {/* Lower priority content */}
      <Suspense fallback={<RecommendationsSkeleton />}>
        <Recommendations />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  );
}

4.2 Parallel Data Fetching

// ✅ GOOD: Parallel data fetching
export default async function Page() {
  // These run in parallel
  const [characters, episodes, stats] = await Promise.all([
    getCharacters(),
    getEpisodes(),
    getStats(),
  ]);

  return (
    <div>
      <Characters data={characters} />
      <Episodes data={episodes} />
      <Stats data={stats} />
    </div>
  );
}

// ❌ BAD: Sequential data fetching
export default async function Page() {
  const characters = await getCharacters(); // Wait...
  const episodes = await getEpisodes(); // Wait...
  const stats = await getStats(); // Wait...
  // Total time = sum of all requests
}

4.3 Avoid Layout Shifts

// ✅ GOOD: Reserve space for dynamic content
export function ImageCard() {
  return (
    <div className="relative aspect-video"> {/* Fixed aspect ratio */}
      <Image
        src="/image.jpg"
        alt=""
        fill
        className="object-cover"
      />
    </div>
  );
}

// ✅ GOOD: Skeleton with matching dimensions
export function CardSkeleton() {
  return (
    <div className="w-full h-48 bg-muted animate-pulse rounded-lg" />
  );
}

// ✅ GOOD: Font display swap
const font = Inter({
  display: "swap", // Shows fallback font immediately
});

4.4 Reduce Client-Side JavaScript

// ✅ GOOD: Server Component (default)
// No "use client" = 0 JS sent to client
export function StaticContent() {
  return <div>This sends no JavaScript</div>;
}

// ⚠️ Use sparingly: Client Component
"use client";
// Only use when you need:
// - useState, useEffect
// - Event handlers (onClick, onChange)
// - Browser APIs
export function InteractiveContent() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  return <button => setCount(c => c + 1)}>{count}</button>;
}

Part 5: Database Optimization

5.1 Query Optimization

// ❌ BAD: N+1 Query Problem
for (const character of characters) {
  const episodes = await query(
    `SELECT * FROM ${TABLES.episodes} WHERE character_id = $1`,
    [character.id]
  );
}

// ✅ GOOD: Single JOIN query
const data = await query(`
  SELECT c.*, json_agg(e.*) as episodes
  FROM ${TABLES.characters} c
  LEFT JOIN ${TABLES.character_episodes} ce ON ce.character_id = c.id
  LEFT JOIN ${TABLES.episodes} e ON e.id = ce.episode_id
  GROUP BY c.id
`);

// ✅ GOOD: Batch query with ANY
const characterIds = characters.map(c => c.id);
const allEpisodes = await query(`
  SELECT * FROM ${TABLES.episodes}
  WHERE character_id = ANY($1)
`, [characterIds]);

5.2 Indexing Strategy

-- Check slow queries first
SELECT 
  query,
  calls,
  mean_time,
  total_time
FROM pg_stat_statements
ORDER BY mean_time DESC
LIMIT 10;

-- Add indexes for common query patterns
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_characters_name 
ON the_simpson.characters(name);

CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_episodes_season_episode 
ON the_simpson.episodes(season, episode_number);

-- Partial index for common filter
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_active_users 
ON the_simpson.users(id) 
WHERE deleted_at IS NULL;

5.3 Connection Optimization

// Already optimized in db.ts
import { neonConfig } from "@neondatabase/serverless";

// HTTP mode for serverless - best performance
neonConfig.poolQueryViaFetch = true;

Part 6: Monitoring & Measurement

6.1 Lighthouse CI

# Install Lighthouse CI
pnpm add -D @lhci/cli

# Create config
cat > lighthouserc.js << 'EOF'
module.exports = {
  ci: {
    collect: {
      url: ['http://localhost:3000/', 'http://localhost:3000/characters'],
      startServerCommand: 'pnpm start',
      numberOfRuns: 3,
    },
    assert: {
      assertions: {
        'categories:performance': ['error', { minScore: 0.9 }],
        'categories:accessibility': ['error', { minScore: 0.9 }],
        'categories:best-practices': ['error', { minScore: 0.9 }],
        'categories:seo': ['error', { minScore: 0.9 }],
        'first-contentful-paint': ['error', { maxNumericValue: 1800 }],
        'largest-contentful-paint': ['error', { maxNumericValue: 2500 }],
        'cumulative-layout-shift': ['error', { maxNumericValue: 0.1 }],
      },
    },
    upload: {
      target: 'temporary-public-storage',
    },
  },
};
EOF

# Run Lighthouse CI
pnpm lhci autorun

6.2 Web Vitals Monitoring

// app/_components/WebVitals.tsx
"use client";

import { useReportWebVitals } from "next/web-vitals";

export function WebVitals() {
  useReportWebVitals((metric) => {
    // Log to console in development
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "development") {
      console.log(metric);
    }

    // Send to analytics in production
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "production") {
      // Example: Send to your analytics endpoint
      fetch("/api/vitals", {
        method: "POST",
        body: JSON.stringify(metric),
        headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
      });
    }
  });

  return null;
}

// Add to app/layout.tsx
import { WebVitals } from "./_components/WebVitals";

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        <WebVitals />
        {children}
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

6.3 Chrome DevTools Performance

Using the webapp-testing skill:

// Start performance trace
mcp_chrome_devtoo_performance_start_trace({
  reload: true,
  autoStop: true,
});

// Analyze specific insight
mcp_chrome_devtoo_performance_analyze_insight({
  insightSetId: "trace_id",
  insightName: "LCPBreakdown",
});

Part 7: Production Checklist

Pre-Deployment Optimization

Images
- All images use next/image
- Hero/LCP images have priority
- Images have correct sizes prop
- Images are in modern formats (WebP/AVIF)
JavaScript
- Bundle analyzed for large dependencies
- Heavy components dynamically imported
- Tree shaking verified
- No unnecessary client components
Caching
- Static pages are pre-rendered
- Dynamic data has appropriate revalidation
- API routes have cache headers
- Database queries are optimized
Loading
- Suspense boundaries for streaming
- Skeleton loaders match content dimensions
- Fonts use display: swap
- Critical CSS is inlined
Metrics
- Lighthouse score > 90 on all categories
- LCP < 2.5s
- INP < 200ms
- CLS < 0.1

Common Performance Fixes

Issue	Solution
High LCP	Add `priority` to LCP image, preload critical resources
High CLS	Set explicit dimensions, use skeletons
High INP	Reduce JS bundle, use `useDeferredValue`
Slow TTFB	Add caching, use edge runtime
Large bundle	Dynamic imports, tree shaking
Slow images	Use next/image, optimize formats
Font flash	Use `display: swap`, preload fonts
