From a UI perspective, I've found that optimizing images and animations can also have a big impact on perceived performance.
For images:
- Use proper formats (WebP where supported)
- Implement lazy loading
- Use responsive images with srcset
For animations:
- Use CSS transitions instead of JavaScript when possible
- Animate properties that don't trigger layout (prefer opacity and transform)
- Use will-change for complex animations, but sparingly
These might not be React-specific, but they definitely help the overall performance of React applications!
