There are fun tips for enhancing animations and logging workflow. The Talk ends with Q&A and sharing/removing features based on user feedback.

We asked co-sponsors to present React, an essential framework for web and mobile developers. TypeScript improves the development experience. Let's talk about the neglected topic of JavaScript leaks and how Chrome handles them. Leaks are easy to create, even for good developers. We crashed browsers due to memory leaks. Solution: fully reload the page after soft navigations. Today we have tools to fix leaks. The first step is admitting you have a problem. Use the reporting API to collect data on memory leaks. If you have a problem, it's not just a single leak. Debug and take memory snapshots. Load the page, perform an action, go back. Compare snapshots to find leaks. Use Memlab by Facebook to identify leaked objects. Memlab tells us memory is used, leaks are everywhere. Chrome extension helps with exporting actions to scenario.js file. 50 users already. Fixing memory leaks involves finding and nullifying unused objects. Spot the leak in a simple React component that adds event listeners. Removing the component leaves the listeners behind. In session two, adding a set interval creates additional listeners. Debugging with Memlab and using non-minified code and named functions helps identify the leaks. Solution: add a component. In React, frameworks provide ways to clean up after components are removed. Spotting a leak in uppercase spelling of mount. Hooks offer use effect to handle cleanup. A use effect allows you to return a function for cleanup. Spot the weird memory leak caused by console logs. Try the reporting API, check your framework, use null, and find your first leak. Memory leaks may be more significant on a mobile browser due to limited available memory. Differentiating between leaked memory and growing global state can be determined by the app's architecture. Checking for memory leaks on mobile can be done using dev tools and manual inspection or by using Puppeteer and the developer tools protocol for emulation. The lack of naming and bindings for anonymous functions in a codemark plugin is a potential area for improvement. Neglect and the excessive amount of JavaScript are common culprits for poor web performance. Facebook's experience with redesigning their website highlighted the need for tools to address the performance bottleneck caused by JavaScript. Throttling the CPU can be effective. Developers should set objects to null when they are no longer needed, allowing the garbage collector to clean up. Chrome DevTools provides options for detecting console log memory objects. WeakRefs and WeakMaps can be useful for cleaning up memory leaks. Integration with tools like MemLab can help regression test releases for memory leaks. We are still early in memory leaks tooling. Raising awareness about the problem is important. Lighthouse scores are not the sole indicator of a fast website. Additional testing and familiarity with Core Web Vitals are recommended.

I'm Nadia, a developer experienced in performance, re-renders, and React. The React team released the React compiler, which eliminates the need for memoization. The compiler optimizes code by automatically memoizing components, props, and hook dependencies. It shows promise in managing changing references and improving performance. Real app testing and synthetic examples have been used to evaluate its effectiveness. The impact on initial load performance is minimal, but further investigation is needed for interactions performance. The React query library simplifies data fetching and caching. The compiler has limitations and may not catch every re-render, especially with external libraries. Enabling the compiler can improve performance but manual memorization is still necessary for optimal results. There are risks of overreliance and messy code, but the compiler can be used file by file or folder by folder with thorough testing. Practice makes incredible cats. Thank you, Nadia!

Unity's optimization tools and profilers are recommended for analyzing performance and memory issues.

This Talk introduces server components in React, which provide an intermediate format for rendering and offer advantages for both client-side and server-side rendering. Server components reduce bundle size on the client and improve search engine optimization. They abstract the rendering process, allowing for faster rendering and flexibility in choosing where to render components. While server components are still in the experimental stage, Next.js is a good starting point to try them out.

This Talk discusses digital sustainability and the role of JavaScript in web sustainability. It highlights the impact of electricity carbon intensity and page weight on carbon footprints. The Talk also examines JavaScript's contribution to the carbon footprint on mobile devices and emphasizes the importance of reducing unnecessary requests. The introduction of the carbon control tool, which provides performance data and estimates carbon footprints, is also mentioned.

React 18's concurrent rendering, specifically the useTransition hook, optimizes app performance by allowing non-urgent updates to be processed without freezing the UI. However, there are drawbacks such as longer processing time for non-urgent updates and increased CPU usage. The useTransition hook works similarly to throttling or bouncing, making it useful for addressing performance issues caused by multiple small components. Libraries like React Query may require the use of alternative APIs to handle urgent and non-urgent updates effectively.

The Talk discusses cases where common optimizations can make the app slower instead of faster, highlighting the impact of a CDN implementation on performance. The delay in the CDN connection process caused the first contentful paint to be delayed. Code splitting, while reducing bundle size, resulted in delayed rendering and worsened performance. Lazy loading images can cause performance issues, and image optimization needs to be carefully managed. Link, pre-connect, and pre-load headers can help with connection and loading cascades, but only if files are loaded later.

Hello, everyone. I'm Hina from Expedia Group. This talk is about making Expedia flights faster. We will focus on performance initiatives on the Flight Search page, including prefetching and preemptive search. Monitoring is crucial with custom metrics like page usable time and non-supply overhead. Prefetching fetches JS bundles beforehand for faster CDN path retrieval, while preemptive search predicts Flight Search responses before the user lands on the page. The page performance improved up to 50% on both web and native. Preemptive search and microqueries were implemented to improve path and performance. Async loading and loaded query optimization resulted in an 8% improvement. Micro-front-end architecture improved bundle size and component reusability, leading to significant performance gains.

Hi everyone! I'm Rohit, a founding engineer at Tria. We are working on bringing the world to Web3 using names. My talk is about gaining performance and taking runtime to build time. There is an upward trend in libraries towards build time optimization, especially in React. Build time optimization improves performance, reduces bundle size, and provides more predictable software. Babel is a free and open source JavaScript transpiler that allows leveraging latest JavaScript features and moving computationally heavy logic from runtime to build time. Building a Babel plugin involves checking for a style prop inside an HTML tag and searching for aliases or token values. The visitor pattern is used to define the JSX type of node and access its path and attributes. The plugin can be customized for different utilities by defining aliases and tokens in a config file. Helpful resources for understanding and building custom Babel plugins include the Babel handbook, Babel docs, astexplorer.net, and the speaker's Twitter account.

Hi, my name is Julian and I am super excited to be speaking at React Summit this year. Today, I will be talking about Suspense on the server and its importance in React server components. React server components allow us to differentiate between static and dynamic components, improving performance and user experience. Suspense improves performance by introducing streaming and out-of-order streaming. We can implement suspense on the server by creating a suspended object to store the suspended children and swapping out the loading state for the actual content using custom elements. Multiple suspense boundaries can be used to render individual loading states for different sections, improving the user experience.

Hi, everyone! My name is Yash Varma, and I'm a software engineer and computer researcher. I'm an open telemetry enthusiast, working on creating a vendor-neutral observability framework. Today's talk is titled as Observability Matters, this time for frontend. We'll cover the evolution of ZEP, the understanding of observability, current state of front-end monitoring tools, core essence of front-end observability, and front-end observability direction. Observability is about understanding what's happening inside the system based on its internal behavior or output. Front-end developers often lack observability compared to back end developers. Synthetic monitoring and real user monitoring are two common tools used by frontend developers. Front-end observability allows us to understand application performance for different users and situations, connecting the dots and gaining insight into core web vitals and user sessions. It's time to adopt observability as a culture and break down silos between front-end and back-end to better understand the entire user experience.

We also discuss the performance of WebAssembly and native add-ons. Finally, we discuss the features of Standard Lib, including fancy indexing, blast operations, and its integration with Google Sheets.

Using front-end features can be challenging. Model federation is an approach to implement micro frontends. Micro frontends can be built-in or use runtimes. Two micro frontends need to update together to ensure consistency. Other techniques for micro frontends include web components, system.js, iframes, and monorepos. Model federation in Webpack 5 decouples runtime from build tools, allowing flexibility in model loading. High availability and error boundaries are important for Model Federation. Full-federated sites enable fast development cycles and easy testing. Importing components from a federated model requires dynamic imports, dependency sharing, and performance considerations. Debugging tools like Medusa and the Model Federation plugin for Chrome help identify and resolve issues. Consistent styling can be achieved by using the same UI kit. Routing can be handled by a shell application or frameworks like Single SPA. Decoupling components using specific federated models and considering tradeoffs when designing application growth strategies. Determine if Microfrontends are necessary based on the need for independent modular components in a growing product.

Hello, JS Nation. I'm here to tell you about some interesting stuff I've been working on using SolidJS. SolidJS introduced fine-grain reactivity and signals six years ago, while other frameworks are now recognizing the value and incorporating similar concepts. Recently, server-side rendering and meta frameworks have gained attention, and SolidJS also has its own meta framework called Solid Start. In this talk, I'll discuss Solid Start and its role in shaping future frameworks. A meta-framework is important because it enables faster time to production, improved code quality, and other benefits. Solid Start is a non-opinionated way to start applications, allowing developers to choose their own path. It took three years to develop, going through two beta phases and major API rewrites. Solid Start is powered by Solid Router, Seroval, Solid, and Vinci. The application allows users to catch Pokemons, and the code uses Solid Router and File Routing for lazy loading components. Preloading data for components helps optimize fetching by eliminating network waterfalls. SOLIDSTART gives you the freedom to choose your path and is the shape of frameworks to come.

Hello, my name is Gabriel. I work at auction.com and I'm going to be talking about how we improved the performance of GraphQL resolvers for our GraphQL service. We had a problem with our subscription deployment, where we were experiencing a high number of restarts due to memory allocation failures. This prompted us to investigate and optimize the memory consumption of our resolvers. To assess the performance, we set up a local environment with Kafka, Graph, and a client that connected 4000 WebSockets to Graph. After running the test, we found that we were only able to process and distribute 16 messages to our clients. Yay. The memory consumption graph showed peaks and valleys as messages were delivered. Three distinct phases were observed: idle, Sockets connected with no messages, and messages being processed. We decided to optimize the context, which contains request-specific information and backend details. Since subscriptions primarily involve sending Kafka messages, we realized that the message itself often has all the necessary information. Therefore, we only create backends when a call is made to them. We optimized our backend creation process using the proxy object, which allows us to create backends lazily only when they are accessed. This resulted in less memory consumption without changing the code or the schema. The less memory consumption is evident in the second phase of the recording, where the plateau formed from having multiple contexts is significantly lower. Most of the savings were achieved by reducing temporary objects and using native iterators instead of Lodash calls for converting key names to Snakecase. All of a sudden, the performance increased by 18%, resulting in increased memory consumption. Upgrading to newer versions of GraphQL Redis subscriptions did not have a significant impact on memory usage. However, optimizing the conversion of key names to snake case by using memoization improved computational efficiency. Our performance significantly improved after implementing snake case. However, memory consumption remained high. To address the memory leak, we introduced auto-scaling and restarted the service every night. Additionally, we optimized the code generation process to improve memory consumption. We explored using heap snapshots in Google Dev tools to analyze and reduce memory consumption. By identifying unnecessary objects and removing them, we were able to free up memory and improve performance. We patched the location object to improve performance and reduce memory consumption. We also optimized data loaders to avoid N+1 queries and improve efficiency.

Today's Talk focuses on implementing virtual scrolling to improve performance and flexibility of lists. The process involves computing the height of the viewport, scroll position, and individual list item height. By rendering only the elements within the viewport, the initial page load and scrolling performance are enhanced. Various optimization techniques are discussed, including memoization, binary search, and delayed rendering. These techniques significantly improve scrolling performance and provide a better user experience. Additional techniques such as using skeletons, element pooling, and functional purity can further optimize rendering. Advanced techniques, like moving elements within the pool and using content visibility, yield substantial performance improvements. However, content visibility is better suited for large pages with few large sections. Overall, the Talk offers valuable insights into virtual scrolling and its limitations.

Today's Talk discussed the performance impact of generated JavaScript and the importance of bundle size in relation to page load speed and user experience. The use of a build process, minification, and avoiding unnecessary polyfills were highlighted as strategies to reduce bundle size. API design considerations, such as avoiding deeply nested object lookups and using functions and objects instead of classes, were discussed in relation to minification. The concepts of down-compilation and transpilation were explained, with a focus on the challenges and benefits they present. The Talk also emphasized the need to avoid using TypeScript enums and instead use string constants, as well as the importance of compressing code and tracking bundle size changes. Bundle analyzers were recommended for visualizing bundle contents and component connections.

Hi, I'm Jerdot, a technical lead at AWS Safegate. Today, I'll discuss event-driven architecture and the potentials of real-time event-driven systems in JavaScript. We'll explore JavaScript runtimes, the event loop, and the queues involved. Event-driven architecture involves producing, detecting, consuming, and reacting to events. It is used in microservices, IoT systems, and real-time data processing. Tools like event emitters and WebSockets are used to simplify building event-driven applications. Connection management is crucial, and RabbitMQ and MQTT are popular message brokers. Performance optimization can be achieved by using high-performing message brokers, deploying producers and brokers close together, and considering fault tolerance. Message processing should include storing messages until successfully processed, handling events multiple times with unintended side effects, and using automatic retries and dead letter queues for transient failures.

Overall, the talk aims to showcase alternative ways of developing applications beyond just React and encourage developers to explore and experiment with different frameworks.

Today's talk focused on the use of REST in JavaScript and the challenges and benefits it presents. The presenter discussed benchmarking the performance of different parsers, with TypeScript consistently outperforming others. Understanding the benchmark results involved analyzing parse time, serialization, and deserialization time. JavaScript parsers had slower performance with concurrent parsing due to JavaScript's single-thread nature. The talk also touched on performance optimization techniques, such as avoiding serialization and utilizing multiple CPU cores. The event-based model with a tree sync was suggested as a way to optimize FFI. Overall, the talk provided valuable insights into the use and optimization of REST in JavaScript.

Today's Talk focused on the importance of optimizing web vitals and performance for both user experience and the environment.

The Talk also mentioned the need for AI regulations and the role of corporations in prioritizing sustainability. Overall, the Talk provided valuable insights into the intersection of performance and sustainability in software development.

Hello, everybody. Today, I'm going to talk about how I solved actual challenges in React using only CSS. One of the main packages I maintain is EmojiPicker React, with hundreds of thousands of weekly downloads. It has all the features you'd expect from an EmojiPicker, but the search capability was slow. I managed to fix it using CSS. Let me show you how. The search functionality relies on global state and requires updating each emoji individually, resulting in excessive DOM work. Virtualization or virtual scrolling is not a viable solution due to the non-uniform emoji list. By examining the DOM, I discovered that each emoji had an area label with search-related information. This led me to investigate further and implement a solution from scratch. We create a new component called CSS search, which takes a value as a string. If the value is empty, we return null. We remove all emojis from the emoji list if there are search results. Emojis that match the search term are displayed. Performance is instantaneous. Empty categories are removed using the CSS has attribute. The CSS not and has selectors are used to remove empty categories. A counter is used to display the count of emojis found. By using flexbox and order, we can position the after element at the beginning of the list. CSS nesting allows us to nest everything under the emoji list, simplifying the structure. The performance of the search is still very fast. I created the flareup package, a CSS in JS library specifically for NPM packages. Flareup solves compatibility issues and works on SSR and CSR. Emoji-picker-react uses flareup to render emojis without JavaScript. Flareup places a style element on the DOM, making it easy to use.

Welcome to my talk on long frames and INP, understanding the post-load performance. The rail model introduced in 2015 provides recommendations for responsiveness and organizing JavaScript work around user input. Metrics like FCP, FMP, and LCP measure visual completeness, while metrics like first interactive and CPU idle assess CPU idleness. Total blocking time measures the impact of long tasks on page responsiveness, and TTI assesses when the browser can respond to interactions reliably. INP is a user-centric responsiveness metric that encompasses all potential causes of slow interactions. The long animation frame API improves attribution and helps pinpoint performance problems. Tools like Vercel toolbar and trace viewer on PerfLab can visualize interaction to next paint. INP and long animation frames provide valuable insights for improving web experiences.

I'm Gil, a performance architect at Wix. Today, I'll explain how we use code splitting to improve website performance. Code splitting breaks down JavaScript into smaller chunks or React components, loading them only when needed. This reduces JavaScript size and improves user experience. We measure performance using Core Web Vitals, focusing on INP scores, which evaluate interactivity. Reducing JavaScript improves INP. Our INP scores have significantly improved, thanks to our code splitting techniques. Let's dive into the code splitting strategies we use, starting with dynamic import and React Lazy. Let's move on to a more advanced example: conditionally loading components on page load, not on user interactions. We fetch the comments data and render the comment section only if there are any comments. This method is supported in React 18 and works for server-side rendering (SSR). React components can be loaded dynamically on scroll or hover interactions with suspense. If the components are already rendered with SSR, we just need to download and hydrate them. This is only possible with the new suspense in server-side rendering (SSR). We use react-lazy with dynamic imports to render the component when it enters the viewport. I created a download on viewport wrapper that creates a ref and uses the intersection observer to resolve a promise when the component enters the viewport. I use the viewport and a wrapper that calls a function called use, which is implemented using the suspense API from React. This function is used to manage the promise and render the components only after it's resolved. The suspense component handles this promise. We moved props calculation to the server side and fetched them in the React component. This approach simplifies the process and can be implemented using the dynamic API in Next.js. By conditionally rendering components and calculating props on the server side, we can significantly reduce the amount of JavaScript code loaded in the client side, resulting in improved performance.

This talk focuses on building a fast and accessible website for all users, highlighting the importance of performance and user experience optimization. It emphasizes the need for adaptive implementation to cater to different devices and user conditions. The talk also discusses the factors beyond the developer's control, such as screen size, browsers, devices, internet connection, and sitting position. It highlights the significance of optimizing image components for various devices and the role of browser support and rendering engines. The speaker discusses the use of future APIs and the challenges of browser compatibility, as well as optimizing image formats and bundler compatibility. The talk provides insights on controlling bundler and device compatibility, optimizing CPU usage, internet connection, and JavaScript form submission. It concludes with a proposal to respond with save data instead of effective type for limited internet connections and recommends using React with adaptive hooks for better user experiences. Overall, the talk covers essential aspects of building a fast and accessible website.

I'm going to be speaking about concurrency within React and how you can use it to improve performance within your applications. Concurrency is crucial for optimizing responsiveness and ensuring a good user experience in complex applications. React breaks up the rendering process into render and commit phases, allowing interruption of the render phase for prioritizing user interactions. React's task scheduler handles tasks in small chunks, ensuring a fluid user experience and responsiveness. High-priority tasks include user interactions, while lower priority tasks involve fetching data or rendering long lists. React introduced new hooks, useTransition and useDeferredValue, for handling state update priorities. The deferred value hook allows for deferring the updates of non-critical UI values, while Suspense for Data Fetching improves the performance of data fetching in React applications. Concurrency is useful for handling real-time search inputs, seamless tab or component switching, rendering large lists, and animating transitions. However, there are drawbacks to concurrency, such as potential delays in non-urgent updates and limited benefits for expensive components. Concurrency may add CPU strain and requires an understanding of React's background behavior for effective debugging. Use suspense on parent level components for data fetching. Performance profiling can help test the effectiveness of transition hooks.

Today's Talk explores modern front-end frameworks React, SolidJS, and Quick. React's popularity is attributed to its component-based architecture and extensive ecosystem.
