Performance Profiling and Optimization Strategies for Modern Single-Page Applications
Single-page applications have become the dominant paradigm for interactive web development, yet the tools and methodologies for systematic performance analysis remain fragmented. This paper presents a structured approach to profiling SPAs built with React, examining Core Web Vitals metrics, bundle composition analysis, and render-cycle optimization. A five-step profiling methodology is validated across six production applications, demonstrating average improvements of 34% in Largest Contentful Paint and 28% in Total Blocking Time.
