Performance Optimization Guide ⚡

Key Strategies for Enhancing System Efficiency

1. Server Configuration

• Caching Mechanisms: Enable HTTP caching with Cache-Control headers to reduce redundant data transfers.
• Load Balancing: Distribute traffic across multiple servers using tools like Nginx or HAProxy.
• Compression: Use Gzip or Brotli to compress response bodies (e.g., application/json or text/html).

2. Database Optimization

• Indexing: Add indexes to frequently queried columns (e.g., user_id, timestamp).
• Query Optimization: Avoid SELECT * and use pagination for large datasets.
• Connection Pooling: Reuse database connections to minimize latency.

3. Code Efficiency

• Minify Resources: Reduce CSS/JS file sizes with tools like UglifyJS or CleanCSS.
• Asynchronous Processing: Offload heavy tasks to background workers (e.g., using async/await).
• Caching API Responses: Store frequent API calls in Redis or Memcached.

4. Network Optimization

• CDN Integration: Use a Content Delivery Network (e.g., Cloudflare) to serve static assets.
• DNS Optimization: Leverage DNS prefetching (<link rel="dns-prefetch" href="//example.com">).
• Reduce Redirects: Minimize HTTP redirects to speed up request resolution.
