### HTTP Requests
- **Good:** ≤ 50count
- **Needs Improvement:** 51-100count
- **Poor:** > 100count
- **Priority:** MEDIUM
- **Description:** Total number of HTTP requests

## 🚀 React Optimization Tips

- Use React.lazy() and Suspense for code splitting
- Implement useMemo and useCallback for expensive computations
- Use React.memo for component memoization
- Consider Next.js for automatic optimizations
- Implement proper key props to avoid unnecessary re-renders
- Use React DevTools Profiler to identify performance bottlenecks

## 🛠️ Optimization Strategies

- 📦 Bundle Optimization: Use tree shaking, code splitting, and dynamic imports
- 🖼️ Image Optimization: WebP format, responsive images, lazy loading
- ⚡ Critical Path: Inline critical CSS, preload key resources
- 🗄️ Caching: Implement service workers, CDN, and browser caching
- 🔄 Compression: Enable Gzip/Brotli, minify assets
- 📱 Progressive Loading: Skeleton screens, progressive enhancement
- 🎯 Third-party: Audit and optimize external scripts
- 🔍 Monitoring: Implement RUM and synthetic monitoring

## 💡 Implementation Recommendations

### Monitoring Setup
1. **Real User Monitoring (RUM):** Implement tools like Google Analytics, New Relic, or DataDog
2. **Synthetic Monitoring:** Use Lighthouse CI, WebPageTest, or Pingdom
3. **Core Web Vitals Tracking:** Monitor CWV in Google Search Console

### Budget Implementation
1. **CI/CD Integration:** Fail builds that exceed performance budgets
2. **Bundle Analysis:** Use webpack-bundle-analyzer or similar tools
3. **Regular Audits:** Schedule weekly/monthly performance reviews

### Priority Matrix
- **Critical:** Core Web Vitals, JavaScript bundle size
- **High:** TTFB, FCP, total page weight, images
- **Medium:** CSS size, Speed Index, fonts, HTTP requests
- **Low:** Non-critical third-party resources

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Core Web Vitals affect search rankings?
Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS) are official Google ranking factors. Good scores improve search visibility, while poor scores can negatively impact rankings. They measure real user experience and are critical for SEO.
Should I optimize for mobile or desktop first?
Always optimize for mobile first. Mobile users typically have slower networks and less powerful devices. If your site performs well on mobile, it will excel on desktop. Google also uses mobile-first indexing.
How do I implement these budgets in my CI/CD pipeline?
Use tools like Lighthouse CI, SpeedCurve, or WebPageTest APIs to fail builds that exceed your budgets. The tool provides JSON configurations for popular performance monitoring tools.
What is the difference between lab and field data?
Lab data comes from controlled environments (Lighthouse, WebPageTest) and is consistent but may not reflect real user conditions. Field data comes from real users (Chrome UX Report) and varies but represents actual experience.
How often should I review and update performance budgets?
Review budgets quarterly or when major features are added. Technology improvements and user behavior changes may allow for tighter budgets. Monitor real user metrics to ensure budgets remain realistic.
