auditing-performance

auditing-performance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from spencerpauly/awesome-cursor-skills. It costs 25 tokens per session (548 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

A checklist for finding and improving application slowdowns, including large browser files, unnecessary screen updates, slow database queries, and Core Web Vitals. Core Web Vitals are measurements Google uses for loading, responsiveness, and visual stability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect bundle size, repeated screen rendering, request waterfalls, client-versus-server data fetching, database queries, and Core Web Vitals.
Why use it?
It helps locate common causes of slow pages and applications instead of relying on guesswork. It covers both the code sent to users and the work done while pages render or fetch data.

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

auditing-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 11d 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.

Performance Audit

Use this skill when the user asks to optimize performance, reduce load times, fix slow pages, or audit Core Web Vitals.

Steps

  1. Analyze bundle size

    • Run npx @next/bundle-analyzer (Next.js) or npx vite-bundle-visualizer (Vite) to identify large dependencies.
    • Look for large libraries that could be replaced with lighter alternatives (e.g. momentdate-fns, lodash → individual imports or native methods).
    • Check for duplicated dependencies in the bundle.
    • Verify tree-shaking is working (no barrel file re-exports pulling in unused code).
  2. Audit rendering performance

    • Identify components that re-render unnecessarily — look for inline object/array/function creation in JSX props.
    • Check for expensive computations in render paths that should use useMemo.
    • Verify lists use proper key props (not array index for dynamic lists).
    • Look for layout thrashing (reading DOM measurements then writing styles in a loop).
  3. Check data fetching

    • Identify request waterfalls — sequential API calls that could be parallelized with Promise.all.
    • Look for data fetched on the client that could be fetched on the server.
    • Check for missing pagination on large data sets.
    • Verify API responses aren't over-fetching (returning fields the client doesn't need).
  4. Database query optimization

    • Look for N+1 query patterns (a query per item in a list).
    • Check for missing indexes on columns used in WHERE, ORDER BY, and JOIN clauses.
    • Identify queries that could use SELECT with specific columns instead of SELECT *.
    • Look for missing connection pooling.
  5. Check assets

    • Verify images use modern formats (WebP/AVIF) and are properly sized.
    • Check for missing loading="lazy" on below-the-fold images.
    • Verify fonts use font-display: swap and are preloaded.
    • Check for render-blocking CSS or JavaScript.
  6. Generate recommendations — produce a prioritized list of optimizations ranked by impact (High / Medium / Low) with estimated effort for each.
