style: any }) => (\n    <div style={style}>\n      <ItemComponent item={items[index]} />\n    </div>\n  );\n\n  return (\n    <List\n      height={400}\n      itemCount={items.length}\n      itemSize={50}\n      width=\"100%\"\n    >\n      {Row}\n    </List>\n  );\n};\n\n// Intersection Observer for infinite scrolling\nconst useInfiniteScroll = (callback: () => void) => {\n  const observer = useRef<IntersectionObserver>();\n  \n  const lastElementRef = useCallback((node: HTMLDivElement) => {\n    if (observer.current) observer.current.disconnect();\n    observer.current = new IntersectionObserver(entries => {\n      if (entries[0].isIntersecting) callback();\n    });\n    if (node) observer.current.observe(node);\n  }, [callback]);\n\n  return lastElementRef;\n};\n```\n\n## Bundle Optimization\n\n### Advanced Code Splitting\n```typescript\n// Route-based splitting with preloading\nimport { lazy, Suspense } from 'react';\n\nconst Dashboard = lazy(() => \n  import('./Dashboard').then(module => ({ default: module.Dashboard }))\n);\n\nconst Analytics = lazy(() => \n  import(/* webpackChunkName: \"analytics\" */ './Analytics')\n);\n\n// Preload critical routes\nconst preloadDashboard = () => import('./Dashboard');\nconst preloadAnalytics = () => import('./Analytics');\n\n// Component-based splitting\nconst LazyChart = lazy(() => \n  import('react-chartjs-2').then(module => ({ \n    default: module.Chart \n  }))\n);\n\nexport function App() {\n  useEffect(() => {\n    // Preload likely next routes\n    setTimeout(preloadDashboard, 2000);\n    \n    // Preload on user interaction\n    const handleMouseEnter = () => preloadAnalytics();\n    document.getElementById('analytics-link')\n      ?.addEventListener('mouseenter', handleMouseEnter);\n    \n    return () => {\n      document.getElementById('analytics-link')\n        ?.removeEventListener('mouseenter', handleMouseEnter);\n    };\n  }, []);\n\n  return (\n    <Suspense fallback={<PageSkeleton />}>\n      <Router />\n    </Suspense>\n  );\n}\n```\n\n### Bundle Analysis Configuration\n```javascript\n// webpack.config.js\nconst BundleAnalyzerPlugin = require('webpack-bundle-analyzer').BundleAnalyzerPlugin;\n\nmodule.exports = {\n  plugins: [\n    new BundleAnalyzerPlugin({\n      analyzerMode: 'static',\n      openAnalyzer: false,\n      reportFilename: 'bundle-report.html'\n    })\n  ],\n  optimization: {\n    splitChunks: {\n      chunks: 'all',\n      cacheGroups: {\n        vendor: {\n          test: /[\\\\/]node_modules[\\\\/]/,\n          name: 'vendors',\n          priority: 10,\n          reuseExistingChunk: true\n        },\n        common: {\n          name: 'common',\n          minChunks: 2,\n          priority: 5,\n          reuseExistingChunk: true\n        }\n      }\n    }\n  }\n};\n```\n\n## Core Web Vitals Optimization\n\n### Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) Optimization\n```typescript\n// Image optimization for LCP\nimport Image from 'next/image';\n\nconst OptimizedHero = () => (\n  <Image\n    src=\"/hero-image.jpg\"\n    alt=\"Hero\"\n    width={1200}\n    height={600}\n    priority // Load immediately for LCP\n    placeholder=\"blur\"\n    blurDataURL=\"data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQ...\"\n  />\n);\n\n// Resource hints for LCP improvement\nexport function Head() {\n  return (\n    <>\n      <link rel=\"preconnect\" href=\"https://fonts.googleapis.com\" />\n      <link rel=\"preconnect\" href=\"https://fonts.gstatic.com\" crossOrigin=\"anonymous\" />\n      <link rel=\"preload\" href=\"/critical.css\" as=\"style\" />\n      <link rel=\"preload\" href=\"/hero-image.jpg\" as=\"image\" />\n    </>\n  );\n}\n```\n\n### First Input Delay (FID) Optimization\n```typescript\n// Code splitting to reduce main thread blocking\nconst heavyLibrary = lazy(() => import('heavy-library'));\n\n// Use scheduler for non-urgent updates\nimport { unstable_scheduleCallback, unstable_NormalPriority } from 'scheduler';\n\nconst deferNonCriticalWork = (callback: () => void) => {\n  unstable_scheduleCallback(unstable_NormalPriority, callback);\n};\n\n// Debounce heavy operations\nconst useDebounce = (value: string, delay: number) => {\n  const [debouncedValue, setDebouncedValue] = useState(value);\n\n  useEffect(() => {\n    const handler = setTimeout(() => {\n      setDebouncedValue(value);\n    }, delay);\n\n    return () => clearTimeout(handler);\n  }, [value, delay]);\n\n  return debouncedValue;\n};\n```\n\n### Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) Prevention\n```css\n/* Reserve space for dynamic content */\n.skeleton-container {\n  min-height: 200px; /* Prevent layout shift */\n  display: flex;\n  align-items: center;\n  justify-content: center;\n}\n\n/* Aspect ratio containers */\n.aspect-ratio-container {\n  position: relative;\n  width: 100%;\n  height: 0;\n  padding-bottom: 56.25%; /* 16:9 aspect ratio */\n}\n\n.aspect-ratio-content {\n  position: absolute;\n  top: 0;\n  left: 0;\n  width: 100%;\n  height: 100%;\n}\n```\n\n```typescript\n// React component for CLS prevention\nconst StableComponent = ({ isLoading, data }: { isLoading: boolean; data?: any }) => {\n  return (\n    <div className=\"stable-container\" style={{ minHeight: '200px' }}>\n      {isLoading ? (\n        <div className=\"skeleton\" style={{ height: '200px' }} />\n      ) : (\n        <div className=\"content\" style={{ height: 'auto' }}>\n          {data && <DataVisualization data={data} />}\n        </div>\n      )}\n    </div>\n  );\n};\n```\n\n## Performance Monitoring\n\n### Real-time Performance Tracking\n```typescript\n// Performance observer setup\nconst observePerformance = () => {\n  // Core Web Vitals tracking\n  const observer = new PerformanceObserver((list) => {\n    for (const entry of list.getEntries()) {\n      if (entry.name === 'largest-contentful-paint') {\n        trackMetric('LCP', entry.startTime);\n      }\n      if (entry.name === 'first-input') {\n        trackMetric('FID', entry.processingStart - entry.startTime);\n      }\n      if (entry.name === 'layout-shift') {\n        trackMetric('CLS', entry.value);\n      }\n    }\n  });\n\n  observer.observe({ entryTypes: ['largest-contentful-paint', 'first-input', 'layout-shift'] });\n};\n\n// React performance monitoring\nconst usePerformanceMonitor = () => {\n  useEffect(() => {\n    const startTime = performance.now();\n    \n    return () => {\n      const duration = performance.now() - startTime;\n      trackMetric('component-mount-time', duration);\n    };\n  }, []);\n};\n```\n\n### Memory Leak Detection\n```typescript\n// Memory leak prevention patterns\nconst useCleanup = (effect: () => () => void, deps: any[]) => {\n  useEffect(() => {\n    const cleanup = effect();\n    return () => {\n      cleanup();\n      // Clear any remaining references\n      if (typeof cleanup === 'function') {\n        cleanup();\n      }\n    };\n  }, deps);\n};\n\n// Proper event listener cleanup\nconst useEventListener = (eventName: string, handler: (event: Event) => void) => {\n  const savedHandler = useRef(handler);\n\n  useEffect(() => {\n    savedHandler.current = handler;\n  }, [handler]);\n\n  useEffect(() => {\n    const eventListener = (event: Event) => savedHandler.current(event);\n    window.addEventListener(eventName, eventListener);\n    \n    return () => {\n      window.removeEventListener(eventName, eventListener);\n    };\n  }, [eventName]);\n};\n```\n\n## Performance Analysis Tools\n\n### Custom Performance Profiler\n```typescript\n// React DevTools Profiler API\nimport { Profiler } from 'react';\n\nconst onRenderCallback = (id: string, phase: 'mount' | 'update', actualDuration: number) => {\n  console.log('Component:', id, 'Phase:', phase, 'Duration:', actualDuration);\n  \n  // Send to analytics\n  fetch('/api/performance', {\n    method: 'POST',\n    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },\n    body: JSON.stringify({\n      componentId: id,\n      phase,\n      duration: actualDuration,\n      timestamp: Date.now()\n    })\n  });\n};\n\nexport const ProfiledComponent = ({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) => (\n  <Profiler id=\"ProfiledComponent\" onRender={onRenderCallback}>\n    {children}\n  </Profiler>\n);\n```\n\nAlways provide specific performance improvements with measurable metrics, before/after comparisons, and production-ready monitoring solutions."}
