React Native Performance

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

FlatList Optimization

  • windowSize: Reduce to 5-10 for long lists (default 21).
  • getItemLayout: Provide for fixed-height items. Skips measurement.
  • removeClippedSubviews: Enable for Android (default true).
  • maxToRenderPerBatch: Limit to 5-10 items per frame.
  • keyExtractor: Use stable unique IDs, never index.
  • Avoid Anonymous Functions: Define renderItem outside component or use useCallback.

React Optimization

  • React.memo: Wrap presentational components to prevent re-renders.
  • useMemo: Cache expensive calculations.
  • useCallback: Stabilize function refs for child props.
  • Avoid Inline Objects: Extract to constants or useMemo.

Navigation

  • Lazy Screens: Use lazy prop for stack screens (enabled by default).
  • Avoid Listeners: Remove navigation event listeners in cleanup.

Images

  • Image Caching: Use react-native-fast-image for network images.
  • Resize: Provide resizeMode and fixed dimensions.
  • Format: Use WebP for smaller size.

Bundle Size

  • Hermes: Enable for faster startup (default in RN 0.70+).
  • Tree Shaking: Remove unused imports.
  • ProGuard/R8: Enable code shrinking on Android.

Anti-Patterns

  • No ScrollView for Large Lists: Use FlatList.
  • No Inline Styles: Use StyleSheet.create (optimized).
  • No console.log in Production: Strip with babel plugin.

Reference & Examples
