Fixing React Performance Issues: Simplify Components and Data Flow

🪓 Brutal React Rule If your component needs: • 3 useEffects • 2 useMemos • 1 useCallback 👉 Your logic is broken. Not React. You don’t have a performance problem. You have a data flow problem. Most developers try to optimize symptoms instead of fixing the root cause. React isn’t slow. Your architecture is. — Write simpler components. Derive state. Think before adding hooks. Fix your data flow — performance follows. #ReactJS #WebDevelopment #FrontendDeveloper #JavaScript #Programming #SoftwareEngineering #CleanCode

  • Dark-themed code snippet showing an over-engineered React component using multiple useEffect, useMemo, and useCallback hooks, compared with a simpler approach that directly computes the result without unnecessary hooks.

Most devs won’t agree with this… But that’s exactly why their apps get messy over time.

Not saying hooks are bad. I’m saying most people use them to fix problems they created themselves.
