## Performance Optimization Expertise:
### 1. **Frontend Performance Optimization**
**Core Web Vitals Optimization:**
```javascript
// Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) optimization
class LCPOptimizer {
static optimizeImages() {
// Lazy loading with Intersection Observer
const images = document.querySelectorAll('img[data-src]');
const imageObserver = new IntersectionObserver((entries, observer) => {
entries.forEach(entry => {
if (entry.isIntersecting) {
const img = entry.target;
img.src = img.dataset.src;
img.classList.remove('lazy');
observer.unobserve(img);
}
});
});
images.forEach(img => imageObserver.observe(img));
}
static preloadCriticalResources() {
// Preload critical fonts
const criticalFonts = [
'/fonts/inter-var.woff2',
'/fonts/source-code-pro.woff2'
];
criticalFonts.forEach(font => {
const link = document.createElement('link');
link.rel = 'preload';
link.href = font;
link.as = 'font';
link.type = 'font/woff2';
link.crossOrigin = 'anonymous';
document.head.appendChild(link);
});
}
static optimizeCriticalPath() {
// Inline critical CSS
const criticalCSS = `
.hero { display: flex; min-height: 100vh; }
.nav { position: fixed; top: 0; width: 100%; }
`;
const style = document.createElement('style');
style.textContent = criticalCSS;
document.head.appendChild(style);
// Defer non-critical CSS
const nonCriticalCSS = document.createElement('link');
nonCriticalCSS.rel = 'preload';
nonCriticalCSS.href = '/css/non-critical.css';
nonCriticalCSS.as = 'style';
nonCriticalCSS.onload = function() {
this.rel = 'stylesheet';
};
document.head.appendChild(nonCriticalCSS);
}
}
// First Input Delay (FID) optimization
class FIDOptimizer {
static deferNonEssentialJS() {
// Use requestIdleCallback for non-critical work
const deferredTasks = [];
function runDeferredTasks(deadline) {
while (deadline.timeRemaining() > 0 && deferredTasks.length > 0) {
const task = deferredTasks.shift();
task();
}
if (deferredTasks.length > 0) {
requestIdleCallback(runDeferredTasks);
}
}
window.addDeferredTask = function(task) {
deferredTasks.push(task);
if (deferredTasks.length === 1) {
requestIdleCallback(runDeferredTasks);
}
};
}
static optimizeEventHandlers() {
// Debounced scroll handler
let scrollTimeout;
function handleScroll() {
if (scrollTimeout) return;
scrollTimeout = setTimeout(() => {
// Scroll handling logic
updateScrollPosition();
scrollTimeout = null;
}, 16); // ~60fps
}
// Passive event listeners
document.addEventListener('scroll', handleScroll, { passive: true });
document.addEventListener('touchstart', handleTouch, { passive: true });
}
}
// Bundle optimization
const webpackOptimizations = {
optimization: {
splitChunks: {
chunks: 'all',
cacheGroups: {
vendor: {
test: /[\\/]node_modules[\\/]/,
name: 'vendors',
chunks: 'all',
},
common: {
minChunks: 2,
chunks: 'all',
enforce: true
}
}
},
usedExports: true,
sideEffects: false
},
plugins: [
new CompressionPlugin({
algorithm: 'gzip',
test: /\.(js|css|html|svg)$/,
threshold: 8192,
minRatio: 0.8
})
]
};
```
### 2. **Backend Performance Optimization**
**Database Query Optimization:**
```javascript
// Connection pooling and query optimization
class DatabaseOptimizer {
constructor() {
this.pool = new Pool({
host: process.env.DB_HOST,
user: process.env.DB_USER,
password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD,
database: process.env.DB_NAME,
max: 20, // Maximum connections
idleTimeoutMillis: 30000,
connectionTimeoutMillis: 2000,
});
}
async optimizedQuery(sql, params) {
const start = Date.now();
try {
const result = await this.pool.query(sql, params);
const duration = Date.now() - start;
if (duration > 100) {
console.warn(`Slow query (${duration}ms):`, sql.substring(0, 100));
}
return result;
} catch (error) {
console.error('Query error:', error);
throw error;
}
}
// Query result caching
async cachedQuery(cacheKey, sql, params, ttl = 300) {
const cached = await redis.get(cacheKey);
if (cached) {
return JSON.parse(cached);
}
const result = await this.optimizedQuery(sql, params);
await redis.setex(cacheKey, ttl, JSON.stringify(result.rows));
return result.rows;
}
}
// API response optimization
class APIOptimizer {
static setupCompression(app) {
const compression = require('compression');
app.use(compression({
filter: (req, res) => {
if (req.headers['x-no-compression']) {
return false;
}
return compression.filter(req, res);
},
level: 6,
threshold: 1024
}));
}
static setupCaching(app) {
// HTTP caching headers
app.use('/api/static', (req, res, next) => {
res.set('Cache-Control', 'public, max-age=31536000'); // 1 year
next();
});
app.use('/api/data', (req, res, next) => {
res.set('Cache-Control', 'public, max-age=300'); // 5 minutes
next();
});
}
static async paginatedResponse(query, page = 1, limit = 20) {
const offset = (page - 1) * limit;
const [data, totalCount] = await Promise.all([
db.query(`${query} LIMIT $1 OFFSET $2`, [limit, offset]),
db.query(`SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (${query}) as count_query`)
]);
return {
data: data.rows,
pagination: {
page,
limit,
total: parseInt(totalCount.rows[0].count),
pages: Math.ceil(totalCount.rows[0].count / limit)
}
};
}
}
```
**Memory and CPU Optimization:**
```javascript
// Memory leak detection and prevention
class MemoryOptimizer {
static monitorMemoryUsage() {
setInterval(() => {
const usage = process.memoryUsage();
const heapUsedMB = Math.round(usage.heapUsed / 1024 / 1024);
const heapTotalMB = Math.round(usage.heapTotal / 1024 / 1024);
console.log(`Memory Usage: ${heapUsedMB}MB / ${heapTotalMB}MB`);
// Alert on high memory usage
if (heapUsedMB > 512) {
console.warn('High memory usage detected');
this.analyzeMemoryUsage();
}
}, 30000); // Check every 30 seconds
}
static analyzeMemoryUsage() {
if (global.gc) {
global.gc();
console.log('Forced garbage collection');
}
// Take heap snapshot for analysis
const v8 = require('v8');
const heapSnapshot = v8.writeHeapSnapshot();
console.log(`Heap snapshot written to: ${heapSnapshot}`);
}
static optimizeObjectPools() {
// Object pooling for frequently created/destroyed objects
class ObjectPool {
constructor(createFn, resetFn, maxSize = 100) {
this.createFn = createFn;
this.resetFn = resetFn;
this.pool = [];
this.maxSize = maxSize;
}
acquire() {
if (this.pool.length > 0) {
return this.pool.pop();
}
return this.createFn();
}
release(obj) {
if (this.pool.length < this.maxSize) {
this.resetFn(obj);
this.pool.push(obj);
}
}
}
// Example: Buffer pool for file operations
const bufferPool = new ObjectPool(
() => Buffer.alloc(4096),
(buffer) => buffer.fill(0),
50
);
return { bufferPool };
}
}
// CPU optimization
class CPUOptimizer {
static async processInBatches(items, processor, batchSize = 100) {
const results = [];
for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i += batchSize) {
const batch = items.slice(i, i + batchSize);
const batchResults = await Promise.all(
batch.map(item => processor(item))
);
results.push(...batchResults);
// Yield control to event loop
await new Promise(resolve => setImmediate(resolve));
}
return results;
}
static workerThreadPool() {
const { Worker, isMainThread, parentPort, workerData } = require('worker_threads');
if (isMainThread) {
class WorkerPool {
constructor(workerScript, poolSize = require('os').cpus().length) {
this.workers = [];
this.queue = [];
for (let i = 0; i < poolSize; i++) {
this.workers.push({
worker: new Worker(workerScript),
busy: false
});
}
}
async execute(data) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const availableWorker = this.workers.find(w => !w.busy);
if (availableWorker) {
this.runTask(availableWorker, data, resolve, reject);
} else {
this.queue.push({ data, resolve, reject });
}
});
}
runTask(workerInfo, data, resolve, reject) {
workerInfo.busy = true;
const onMessage = (result) => {
workerInfo.worker.off('message', onMessage);
workerInfo.worker.off('error', onError);
workerInfo.busy = false;
// Process queued tasks
if (this.queue.length > 0) {
const { data: queuedData, resolve: queuedResolve, reject: queuedReject } = this.queue.shift();

}
resolve(result);
};

workerInfo.worker.on('error', onError);
workerInfo.worker.postMessage(data);
}
}
return WorkerPool;
}
}
}
```
### 3. **Infrastructure Performance Optimization**
**Load Balancing and Caching:**
```nginx
# Nginx optimization configuration
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
# Gzip compression
gzip on;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml;
gzip_min_length 1000;
# Static file caching
location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|css|js|woff|woff2)$ {
expires 1y;
add_header Cache-Control "public, immutable";
access_log off;
}
# API load balancing
upstream api_servers {
least_conn;
server 10.0.1.10:3000 weight=3;
server 10.0.1.11:3000 weight=3;
server 10.0.1.12:3000 weight=2;
# Health checks
check interval=3000 rise=2 fall=3 timeout=1000;
}
location /api/ {
proxy_pass http://api_servers;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
# Connection pooling
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Connection "";
# Timeouts
proxy_connect_timeout 5s;
proxy_send_timeout 10s;
proxy_read_timeout 10s;
}
# Rate limiting

location /api/auth {
limit_req zone=api burst=5 nodelay;
proxy_pass http://api_servers;
}
}
```
**Redis Caching Strategy:**
```javascript
class CacheOptimizer {
constructor() {
this.redis = new Redis({
host: process.env.REDIS_HOST,
port: process.env.REDIS_PORT,
maxRetriesPerRequest: 3,
retryDelayOnFailover: 100,
lazyConnect: true
});
}
// Multi-level caching
async get(key, fallback, options = {}) {
const { ttl = 300, localCache = true } = options;
// Level 1: In-memory cache
if (localCache && this.localCache.has(key)) {
return this.localCache.get(key);
}
// Level 2: Redis cache
const cached = await this.redis.get(key);
if (cached) {
const value = JSON.parse(cached);
if (localCache) {
this.localCache.set(key, value, ttl / 10); // Shorter local TTL
}
return value;
}
// Level 3: Fallback to source
const value = await fallback();
// Cache the result
await this.redis.setex(key, ttl, JSON.stringify(value));
if (localCache) {
this.localCache.set(key, value, ttl / 10);
}
return value;
}
// Cache warming
async warmCache(keys) {
const pipeline = this.redis.pipeline();
keys.forEach(({ key, fetcher, ttl }) => {
fetcher().then(value => {
pipeline.setex(key, ttl, JSON.stringify(value));
});
});
await pipeline.exec();
}
// Cache invalidation patterns
async invalidatePattern(pattern) {
const keys = await this.redis.keys(pattern);
if (keys.length > 0) {
await this.redis.del(...keys);
}
}
}
```
### 4. **Performance Monitoring and Profiling**
**Application Performance Monitoring:**
```javascript
class PerformanceMonitor {
constructor() {
this.metrics = new Map();
this.alerts = [];
}
// Custom performance marks
mark(name) {
performance.mark(name);
}
measure(name, startMark, endMark) {
performance.measure(name, startMark, endMark);
const measure = performance.getEntriesByName(name, 'measure')[0];
this.recordMetric(name, measure.duration);
// Performance threshold alerts
if (measure.duration > this.getThreshold(name)) {
this.alerts.push({
metric: name,
duration: measure.duration,
timestamp: Date.now(),
threshold: this.getThreshold(name)
});
}
return measure.duration;
}
recordMetric(name, value) {
if (!this.metrics.has(name)) {
this.metrics.set(name, []);
}
const values = this.metrics.get(name);
values.push(value);
// Keep only last 100 measurements
if (values.length > 100) {
values.shift();
}
}
getStats(name) {
const values = this.metrics.get(name) || [];
if (values.length === 0) return null;
const sorted = [...values].sort((a, b) => a - b);
return {
count: values.length,
min: sorted[0],
max: sorted[sorted.length - 1],
mean: values.reduce((a, b) => a + b) / values.length,
p50: sorted[Math.floor(sorted.length * 0.5)],
p95: sorted[Math.floor(sorted.length * 0.95)],
p99: sorted[Math.floor(sorted.length * 0.99)]
};
}
}
// Usage example
const monitor = new PerformanceMonitor();
// Middleware for API timing
function performanceMiddleware(req, res, next) {
const startMark = `${req.method}-${req.path}-start`;
const endMark = `${req.method}-${req.path}-end`;
monitor.mark(startMark);
res.on('finish', () => {
monitor.mark(endMark);
const duration = monitor.measure(`${req.method}-${req.path}`, startMark, endMark);
res.setHeader('X-Response-Time', `${duration.toFixed(2)}ms`);
});
next();
}
```
