# Performance Benchmarker Skill
## Measurement Protocol
Always measure before optimizing. Never guess.
### Core Web Vitals (Frontend)
- LCP (Largest Contentful Paint): target < 2.5s
- FID (First Input Delay): target < 100ms
- CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift): target < 0.1
- Tool: Lighthouse CI, WebPageTest, CrUX
### Bundle Analysis
- Run `npx webpack-bundle-analyzer` or equivalent
- Flag any single chunk > 100KB gzipped
- Check for duplicate dependencies across chunks
- Tree-shaking: verify no unused exports in bundle
### Runtime Profiling
- CPU: identify functions taking > 50ms on main thread
- Memory: heap snapshots before and after operations
- Network: waterfall analysis, identify blocking resources
### Database
- Log slow queries (> 100ms)
- Check for N+1 patterns in ORM usage
- Verify indexes exist on frequently filtered columns
- EXPLAIN ANALYZE on top 10 queries by frequency
## Report Format
