How can I optimize React performance for large lists?
Easy Read
Optimizing React Performance for Large Lists

Rendering large lists can slow down React apps due to excessive DOM updates. To optimize performance, focus on reducing rendering and computation costs.

Key Techniques

List virtualization: Use libraries like react-window or react-virtualized to render only visible items.

Memoization: Apply React.memo, useMemo, and useCallback to prevent unnecessary re-renders.

Stable keys: Always use unique, stable keys to help React reconcile efficiently.

Pagination or infinite scroll: Load data in chunks instead of all at once.

Final Tip

Measure improvements using the React Profiler to validate real performance gains.

What about useMemo and useCallback?
Easy Read
Understanding useMemo and useCallback for Performance

Both useMemo and useCallback help optimize React by avoiding unnecessary recalculations and re-renders, especially in large lists.

useMemo

Caches the result of expensive computations

Useful for derived data like filtered or sorted lists

Prevents recalculation unless dependencies change

useCallback

Caches function references

Important when passing callbacks to memoized child components

Prevents avoidable re-renders caused by new function instances

Key Insight

Use them strategically, not everywhere—overuse can add complexity without real performance gains.

How does React.memo help?
Easy Read
How React.memo Improves Performance

React.memo is a higher-order component that prevents unnecessary re-renders of functional components when props haven't changed.

How It Works

Shallow prop comparison: React reuses the previous render if props are identical

Best for pure components: Components that render the same output for the same props

Pairs well with hooks: Works best with useCallback and useMemo to keep props stable

When to Use It

Apply React.memo to frequently rendered list items or UI components with expensive rendering logic.

Key Takeaway

It reduces wasted renders, but only helps when props are truly stable.
