Web Workers move heavy computations off the main thread to keep the UI responsive. You create a worker in React, pass messages with transferable objects for data crunching, and handle results without blocking the main thread.

Proper worker termination on unmount requires understanding the worker lifecycle within React or Vue components. You must terminate workers during the component cleanup phase to prevent memory leaks and ensure background tasks stop correctly.

Transferable objects allow zero-copy data transfer between the main thread and Web Workers. You need them when passing large data chunks for image processing or data crunching to avoid serialization overhead and maintain UI snappiness.

Yes, it supports Web Worker, SharedWorker, and worker pool concurrency models. SharedWorker allows multiple components to share a single worker instance, while worker pools manage CPU-bound tasks like complex algorithms efficiently.

Content Security Policy considerations are required when using Web Workers for frontend performance. You must configure CSP headers to allow worker scripts to execute, ensuring background tasks like encryption calculations run without policy violations.

You should not use Web Workers for tasks requiring shared DOM access or trivial computations where messaging overhead outweighs benefits. Worker lifecycle management and serialization costs make them unsuitable for simple synchronous operations.
