web-performance

web-performance is a cursor rule for Cursor from kensaurus/cursor-kenji. It costs 0 tokens per session (491 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Web-performance rules set limits and implementation practices for Next.js and React sites, covering loading speed, interaction response, layout stability, image loading, rendering, navigation, and third-party scripts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when building or reviewing web pages, optimizing images and JavaScript, choosing server or client rendering, adding loading states, or checking performance budgets.
Why use it?
They help prevent slow pages, delayed interactions, shifting layouts, and unnecessary code or script overhead.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

web-performance scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 22d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Web performance guardrails

Budgets (fail the PR, not the build)

  • Field p75: LCP ≤ 2.5 s · INP ≤ 200 ms · CLS ≤ 0.1 · TTFB ≤ 800 ms
  • Initial JS per route ≤ 170 KB gz (marketing) / ≤ 300 KB gz (app)
  • ≤ 3 third-party scripts on any route; none synchronous in <head>

LCP rules

  • The LCP image is never loading="lazy"; it gets priority (next/image) or fetchpriority="high" + preload
  • LCP content is server-rendered and in the HTML — not a CSS background, not client-fetched
  • Every <img>/<video>/<iframe> has dimensions or aspect-ratio

Rendering

  • Server Components by default; 'use client' only at interactive leaves
  • Slow data goes behind <Suspense> with a sized skeleton; never block the shell
  • React Compiler is on (reactCompiler: true); do not hand-write memo/useMemo/useCallback without Profiler evidence

Responsiveness (INP)

  • No task > 50 ms in an input handler; yield with scheduler.yield() / startTransition
  • No synchronous layout reads in handlers
  • Third-party scripts: <Script strategy="lazyOnload"> or consent-gated; embeds use facades
  • No unload listeners (bfcache); use pagehide
  • Speculation Rules prefetch (moderate) for in-site links; prerender only high-probability pages; never speculate side-effect URLs
  • Fonts via next/font (fallback metrics + subsetting); font-display: swap

Measure before and after

  • web-vitals/attribution in prod; Lighthouse CI budget in CI; field p75 is the source of truth
  • First-load diagnosis → audit-performance; implement instant nav → enhance-web-instant-nav

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
