Performance.mark and performance.measure let you instrument hot code paths to capture timing data. Mark the start and end of critical operations, then measure the duration between them. This data surfaces in DevTools and production builds, revealing where your app spends the most time.

Bundle size reduction combines code splitting—separating code into smaller chunks loaded on demand—and asset optimization. Monitor your bundle size as part of your build pipeline to catch bloat early. Code splitting defers loading non-critical code until needed.

Debouncing delays execution of frequently-fired events like scroll, resize, or input until the user stops triggering them. This reduces the number of expensive operations, improving responsiveness and reducing CPU load during rapid user interactions.

Build your app for production, then use browser DevTools or performance.mark/measure to capture startup timing. Establish a baseline measurement before optimization, then compare results after applying changes like code splitting or debouncing.

Yes. CSS transforms and animations can be tuned for better performance. Avoid expensive layout-triggering properties; prefer transform and opacity changes. Pair CSS optimization with JavaScript profiling to identify whether bottlenecks are animation-related or elsewhere in your code.

No. Performance.mark and performance.measure are built into modern browsers and require no external dependencies. You add them directly to your code around hot paths, then read results via DevTools or the Performance API in production.
