Act as a senior WordPress plugin developer with expertise in web performance optimization, Core Web Vitals, and React performance patterns. Conduct a comprehensive performance audit of the DesignSetGo WordPress plugin, identifying bottlenecks, optimization opportunities, and providing actionable fixes.
Performance Review Scope
This is a DEEP PERFORMANCE AUDIT focusing exclusively on performance optimization across all layers: frontend, editor, database, asset loading, bundle size, rendering, and runtime performance.
Core Performance Review Areas
1. Bundle Size Analysis (Critical)
JavaScript Bundles:
- • Total plugin JS size < 100KB gzipped (all blocks combined)
- • Individual block JS < 10KB gzipped
- • Shared dependencies properly extracted
- • Code splitting implemented where appropriate
- • Tree shaking working correctly
- • No duplicate dependencies across bundles
- • Development code removed from production builds
CSS Bundles:
- • Total plugin CSS < 50KB gzipped
- • Individual block CSS < 5KB gzipped
- • Shared styles properly extracted
- • No unused CSS rules
- • Critical CSS inlined (if applicable)
- • CSS variables used for theme values
Analysis Commands:
# Check build output sizes
ls -lh build/ | grep -E "\.js$|\.css$"
# Detailed bundle analysis
du -sh build/*.js build/*.css | sort -rh
# Gzipped sizes (production simulation)
find build/ -name "*.js" -o -name "*.css" | xargs -I {} sh -c 'echo "{}: $(gzip -c {} | wc -c) bytes gzipped"'
# Check for duplicate dependencies
grep -r "import.*from" src/ | grep -E "react|lodash|wp-" | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
Optimization Targets:
- •Blocks: Each < 10KB JS + 5KB CSS
- •Extensions: Each < 5KB JS + 2KB CSS
- •Shared utilities: < 15KB total
- •Total plugin assets: < 100KB gzipped
2. Asset Loading Strategy (Critical)
Conditional Loading:
- • Assets only load when blocks are actually used on page
- • No global asset loading unless necessary
- •
has_block()orhas_blocks()used for conditional enqueuing - • Block-specific assets registered per-block
- • Shared dependencies loaded once (not duplicated)
Asset Dependencies:
- • Minimal dependencies declared
- • WordPress core dependencies used (not duplicated)
- • No unnecessary polyfills
- • Dependencies properly versioned
- • Asset handles unique and prefixed
Check Files:
- •
includes/class-assets.php- Main asset loader - •
includes/blocks/class-loader.php- Block registration - •All
block.jsonfiles - Asset declarations
Current Implementation Analysis:
// Check current loading strategy
grep -A 10 "wp_enqueue" includes/class-assets.php
// Check block asset registration
find src/blocks -name "block.json" -exec grep -H "script\|style" {} \;
// Find unconditional loading
grep -r "wp_enqueue_script\|wp_enqueue_style" includes/ | grep -v "is_admin\|has_block"
Best Practice Pattern:
// ✅ GOOD - Conditional loading
public function enqueue_block_assets() {
if (!has_block('designsetgo/block-name')) {
return;
}
wp_enqueue_script('designsetgo-block-name');
}
// ❌ BAD - Always loads
public function enqueue_assets() {
wp_enqueue_script('designsetgo-all-blocks');
}
3. Frontend JavaScript Performance (Critical)
Runtime Performance:
- • No JavaScript on frontend unless absolutely necessary
- • Event listeners use delegation (not individual handlers)
- • No memory leaks (intervals/timeouts cleaned up)
- • Passive event listeners for scroll/touch
- • requestAnimationFrame for animations
- • Intersection Observer for lazy loading
- • Debouncing/throttling for frequent events
DOM Manipulation:
- • Minimal DOM queries (cache selectors)
- • Batch DOM updates (avoid layout thrashing)
- • Use DocumentFragment for multiple insertions
- • Avoid forced synchronous layouts
- • CSS transitions over JavaScript animations
Check Frontend Scripts:
# Find all frontend JavaScript find src/ -name "view.js" -o -name "frontend.js" # Check for performance anti-patterns grep -r "setInterval\|setTimeout\|addEventListener" src/*/view.js src/*/frontend.js # Check for DOM queries in loops grep -A 5 "forEach\|for\|while" src/*/view.js | grep "querySelector\|getElementById"
Performance Patterns:
// ✅ GOOD - Event delegation, cached selectors
const container = document.querySelector('[data-dsgo-tabs]');
container?.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
const tab = e.target.closest('[data-dsgo-tab]');
if (!tab) return;
handleTabClick(tab);
});
// ❌ BAD - Individual listeners, repeated queries
document.querySelectorAll('[data-dsgo-tab]').forEach(tab => {
tab.addEventListener('click', () => {
document.querySelector('[data-dsgo-tabs]').classList.add('active');
});
});
// ✅ GOOD - Passive listeners, cleanup
const handleScroll = throttle(() => { /* ... */ }, 100);
window.addEventListener('scroll', handleScroll, { passive: true });
// Cleanup on unload
window.addEventListener('unload', () => {
window.removeEventListener('scroll', handleScroll);
});
4. React Editor Performance (High Priority)
Component Optimization:
- • No
useEffectfor simple calculations (useuseMemoinstead) - • Expensive calculations wrapped in
useMemo - • Event handlers wrapped in
useCallback - • No unnecessary re-renders (use React DevTools Profiler)
- • Large lists use windowing (react-window/react-virtualized)
- • Conditional rendering optimized
- • Lazy loading for heavy components
Attribute Updates:
- • Batch attribute updates when possible
- • No
setAttributesin loops - • Avoid setting attributes that haven't changed
- • Use functional updates for derived state
Check Editor Performance:
# Find useEffect usage (often unnecessary) grep -r "useEffect" src/blocks/*/edit.js -A 3 # Find missing memoization grep -r "const.*=" src/blocks/*/edit.js | grep -v "useMemo\|useCallback\|useState\|useSelect" # Check for expensive operations grep -r "map\|filter\|reduce\|sort" src/blocks/*/edit.js
Performance Patterns:
// ❌ BAD - useEffect for simple calculation
useEffect(() => {
setComputedValue(width * height);
}, [width, height]);
// ✅ GOOD - useMemo for calculation
const computedValue = useMemo(() => width * height, [width, height]);
// ❌ BAD - Inline function causes re-renders
<Button onClick={() => setAttributes({ value: 'new' })}>
// ✅ GOOD - Memoized callback
const handleClick = useCallback(() => {
setAttributes({ value: 'new' });
}, []);
<Button onClick={handleClick}>
// ❌ BAD - Setting attributes in loop
items.forEach(item => {
setAttributes({ [item.key]: item.value });
});
// ✅ GOOD - Batch updates
const updates = items.reduce((acc, item) => ({
...acc,
[item.key]: item.value
}), {});
setAttributes(updates);
5. CSS Performance (High Priority)
Selector Performance:
- • Low specificity selectors (use
:where()for plugin styles) - • Scoped to block classes (
.wp-block-designsetgo-*) - • Avoid universal selectors (
*) - • Avoid deep descendant selectors (
.a .b .c .d) - • No
!important(except accessibility overrides) - • Class-based (not ID or tag selectors)
CSS Optimization:
- • CSS variables for theme values
- • No duplicate rules
- • Mobile-first media queries
- • Contain property for isolated blocks
- • content-visibility for off-screen content
- • will-change used sparingly
Check CSS Quality:
# Find high-specificity selectors
grep -r "\..*\..*\..*\." src/blocks/*/style.scss
# Find !important usage
grep -r "!important" src/ --include="*.scss" --include="*.css"
# Check for universal selectors
grep -r "\* {" src/ --include="*.scss"
# Find duplicate rules
cat build/style-index.css | grep -E "^\.[a-z-]+ \{" | sort | uniq -d
Performance Patterns:
// ✅ GOOD - Low specificity with :where()
:where(.wp-block-designsetgo-stack) {
display: flex;
}
// ❌ BAD - High specificity
.wp-block-designsetgo-stack.custom-class.is-variant {
display: flex;
}
// ✅ GOOD - Scoped to block
.wp-block-designsetgo-stack {
.stack__item {
flex: 1;
}
}
// ❌ BAD - Global scope
.stack__item {
flex: 1;
}
// ✅ GOOD - Performance optimization
.wp-block-designsetgo-gallery {
contain: layout style paint;
content-visibility: auto;
}
6. Database & PHP Performance (Medium Priority)
Database Queries:
- • No database queries on every page load
- • Transients used for expensive operations
- • Query results cached
- • Options not autoloaded unless necessary
- • Batch operations instead of loops
- • Indexes on custom tables (if applicable)
PHP Optimization:
- • Minimal PHP execution on frontend
- • No unused code paths
- • Efficient loops (avoid nested queries)
- • Early returns to skip unnecessary work
- • Block registration optimized
- • Pattern registration lazy-loaded
Check PHP Performance:
# Find database queries grep -r "wpdb\|get_option\|update_option\|get_transient" includes/ --include="*.php" # Check for queries in loops grep -A 10 "foreach\|for\|while" includes/ | grep "wpdb\|get_" # Find autoloaded options grep -r "add_option\|update_option" includes/ | grep -v "false"
Performance Patterns:
// ❌ BAD - Query in loop
foreach ($blocks as $block) {
$meta = get_post_meta($block->ID);
}
// ✅ GOOD - Batch query
update_meta_cache('post', array_column($blocks, 'ID'));
foreach ($blocks as $block) {
$meta = get_post_meta($block->ID); // Cached
}
// ❌ BAD - No caching
$patterns = $this->get_all_patterns(); // Expensive
// ✅ GOOD - Transient caching
$patterns = get_transient('dsg_patterns');
if (false === $patterns) {
$patterns = $this->get_all_patterns();
set_transient('dsg_patterns', $patterns, HOUR_IN_SECONDS);
}
7. Image & Media Optimization (Medium Priority)
Image Handling:
- • Lazy loading attribute on images (
loading="lazy") - • Responsive images (srcset/sizes)
- • Modern formats supported (WebP, AVIF)
- • Appropriate image sizes used
- • No Base64 images in CSS (except tiny icons)
- • SVG optimization
Video Handling:
- • Lazy loading on videos
- • Poster images for videos
- • No autoplay (except muted)
- • Appropriate video formats
Check Media Usage:
# Find image tags grep -r "<img" src/blocks/*/save.js # Check for lazy loading grep -r "loading=" src/blocks/*/save.js # Find video usage grep -r "<video" src/blocks/*/save.js
8. Webpack & Build Optimization (Medium Priority)
Build Configuration:
- • Production mode enabled
- • Minification enabled
- • Tree shaking working
- • Code splitting configured
- • Source maps disabled in production
- • Bundle analyzer used to identify bloat
- • Dependencies externalized (WordPress packages)
Check Build Config:
// Review webpack.config.js - mode: 'production' - optimization.minimize: true - optimization.splitChunks: configured - externals: WordPress dependencies - devtool: false (production)
Optimization Opportunities:
// Check for large dependencies npm list --depth=0 --long // Analyze bundle npm run build -- --analyze // Check for unused dependencies npm install -g depcheck depcheck
9. Core Web Vitals Impact (High Priority)
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP):
- • Block assets load quickly (< 2.5s)
- • No render-blocking resources
- • Images optimized and lazy-loaded
- • Fonts preloaded (if custom fonts)
- • Critical CSS inlined (if applicable)
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS):
- • Dimensions set on images/videos
- • No dynamic content insertion above fold
- • Skeleton screens for loading states
- • Reserved space for ads/embeds
- • Fonts use font-display: swap
First Input Delay (FID) / INP:
- • Minimal JavaScript execution time
- • Long tasks broken up
- • Main thread not blocked
- • Input handlers optimized
- • No synchronous XHR
Total Blocking Time (TBT):
- • JavaScript bundles small
- • Code split for route-based loading
- • Third-party scripts deferred
- • Web Workers for heavy computation
Testing Commands:
# Lighthouse CI (if configured)
npm run test:performance
# Measure bundle impact
ls -lh build/*.js | awk '{sum+=$5} END {print "Total JS:", sum/1024, "KB"}'
# Check for render-blocking resources
grep -r "enqueue_script\|enqueue_style" includes/ | grep -v "defer\|async"
10. Memory & Resource Management (Medium Priority)
Memory Leaks:
- • Event listeners removed on cleanup
- • Timers (setTimeout/setInterval) cleared
- • No circular references
- • Large objects released after use
- • React components properly unmounted
Resource Cleanup:
- • Observers disconnected (IntersectionObserver, ResizeObserver)
- • Fetch requests aborted on cleanup
- • Web Workers terminated
- • Cache cleared when appropriate
Check for Leaks:
# Find event listeners without cleanup grep -A 10 "addEventListener" src/ | grep -B 10 -v "removeEventListener" # Find timers without cleanup grep -A 10 "setInterval\|setTimeout" src/ | grep -B 10 -v "clearInterval\|clearTimeout" # Find observers without cleanup grep -A 10 "Observer" src/ | grep -B 10 -v "disconnect\|unobserve"
