performance: Track and Improve Platform Performance (Load Times, API Response & Unnecessary Renders)

Description

Description

To help improve the overall experience, we need to start tracking the performance of the platform. This includes how fast pages and APIs respond, but also how efficiently the frontend is rendering components — especially identifying any unnecessary re-renders that could impact performance.

What we’ll be measuring:

• Page load times
• API response times
• Time to First Byte (TTFB)
• Interaction delays (e.g. clicking buttons, navigating views)
• Unnecessary or repeated renders in components
• Performance during high usage

What I’ll be doing:

• Identify key pages, components, and API calls to monitor
• Use tools like Chrome DevTools (Performance tab), React Developer Tools, Lighthouse, or Postman
• Measure and document render counts of key components
• Track time taken for common actions and transitions
• Suggest optimizations based on findings
