<ul data-eligibleForWebStory="true">Frontend performance in modern storefronts involves more than just API speed.Issues often arise post-data arrival such as bloated JS, hydration delays, redundant render logic, and overfetching.Hydration is a significant bottleneck, especially in setups like Hydrogen and Adobe PWA Studio.Reducing client-side JavaScript and optimizing component loading can improve performance.Server-side rendering speed depends on strategic caching, considering personalization rules and variant logic.Observability through logging and data collection is crucial for identifying performance issues.The focus is on creating not just fast-loading but predictable storefronts.
