Cursor performance

React Components Rerendering Excessively

After Cursor refactored your React component code, components are re-rendering far too frequently, causing performance degradation and jank on the page.

Components that shouldn't re-render are being triggered by parent updates.

Error Messages You Might See

Component re-rendering too frequently Lag on user input High CPU usage Janky scrolling
Component re-rendering too frequentlyLag on user inputHigh CPU usageJanky scrolling

Common Causes

  1. Props or state objects recreated on every render (inline object/function creation)
  2. useCallback or useMemo removed to simplify code, eliminating optimization
  3. Parent passes new object reference every render even if contents identical
  4. Incorrect dependency arrays in useEffect (missing dependencies)
  5. Context consumer re-renders when context value changes (even unrelated)

How to Fix It

Use React DevTools Profiler to identify re-renders. Wrap components with React.memo() for prop comparison. Use useCallback/useMemo for functions/objects passed as props. Check dependency arrays. Split context if some parts change frequently.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find unnecessary re-renders?

React DevTools Profiler tab. Highlight updates shows which components re-rendered. Check props/state actually changed.

What's React.memo?

HOC that memoizes component. Re-renders only if props change (shallow comparison). Use for expensive components.
