# Performance Optimization

This guide provides performance optimization strategies for AuroraView, including first-paint optimization, IPC performance improvements, and best practices.

## Problem Analysis

### First Paint White Screen

**Symptoms**:
- Noticeable white screen after window appears
- Users wait 500ms-1s before seeing content
- Application feels slow and unresponsive

**Breakdown**:

```
Total Load Time = WebView Init + HTML Parse + CSS Compute + JS Execute + First Render
                  (200-300ms)   (50-100ms)   (30-80ms)    (100-200ms)  (100-200ms)
                = 480-880ms
```

| Phase | Time | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| WebView Init | 200-300ms | WebView2/WebKit initialization (biggest bottleneck) |
| HTML Parse | 50-100ms | DOM tree construction |
| CSS Compute | 30-80ms | Style calculation and application |
| JS Execute | 100-200ms | Script loading and initialization |
| First Render | 100-200ms | Layout, paint, and composite |

## Optimization Strategies

### 1. Loading Page (Immediate)

**Principle**: Show a lightweight loading page first, then async load actual content.

```python
from auroraview import WebView

# Create WebView
webview = WebView(
    title="My App",
    width=800,
    height=600,
)

# Load lightweight loading page first
webview.load_html("""
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <style>
        body {
            display: flex;
            justify-content: center;
            align-items: center;
            height: 100vh;
            background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%);
            margin: 0;
        }
        .spinner {
            width: 60px;
            height: 60px;
            border: 4px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3);
            border-top-color: white;
            border-radius: 50%;
            animation: spin 1s linear infinite;
        }
        @keyframes spin {
            to { transform: rotate(360deg); }
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="spinner"></div>
</body>
</html>
""")

# Show window (immediately shows loading)
webview.show_async()

# Async load actual content
import threading
def load_content():
    import time
    time.sleep(0.1)  # Simulate load time
    webview.load_html(ACTUAL_CONTENT)

threading.Thread(target=load_content).start()
```

**Results**:
- ✅ Users see loading animation immediately (100-200ms)
- ✅ Perceived performance improves 60-80%
- ✅ Actual load time unchanged, but better experience

### 2. Performance Monitoring

**HTML Side**:

```html
<script>
// Performance monitoring
window.auroraViewPerf = {
    start: performance.now(),
    marks: {}
};

// DOM ready
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
    window.auroraViewPerf.marks.domReady = performance.now();
    console.log('DOM ready:', 
        window.auroraViewPerf.marks.domReady - window.auroraViewPerf.start, 'ms');
});

// Fully loaded
window.addEventListener('load', () => {
    window.auroraViewPerf.marks.loaded = performance.now();
    console.log('Fully loaded:', 
        window.auroraViewPerf.marks.loaded - window.auroraViewPerf.start, 'ms');
    
    // Notify Python
    auroraview.send_event('first_paint', {
        time: window.auroraViewPerf.marks.loaded - window.auroraViewPerf.start
    });
});
</script>
```

**Python Side**:

```python
@webview.on("first_paint")
def handle_first_paint(data):
    print(f"✅ First paint: {data.get('time', 0):.2f} ms")
```

### 3. HTML Optimization

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    
    <!-- 1. Inline critical CSS (avoid extra requests) -->
    <style>
        /* Only include above-the-fold styles */
        body { margin: 0; font-family: sans-serif; }
        .container { max-width: 1200px; margin: 0 auto; }
    </style>
    
    <!-- 2. Preload critical resources -->
    <link rel="preload" href="critical.css" as="style">
    <link rel="preload" href="critical.js" as="script">
</head>
<body>
    <!-- 3. Above-the-fold content first -->
    <div class="container">
        <h1>Welcome</h1>
        <!-- Visible content -->
    </div>
    
    <!-- 4. Lazy load non-critical content -->
    <div id="lazy-content"></div>
    
    <!-- 5. Scripts at bottom -->
    <script>
        // Critical JavaScript
    </script>
    
    <!-- 6. Defer non-critical scripts -->
    <script>
        window.addEventListener('load', () => {
            const script = document.createElement('script');
            script.src = 'non-critical.js';
            document.body.appendChild(script);
        });
    </script>
</body>
</html>
```

### 4. IPC Performance Optimization

**Enable Batch Processing**:

```python
# Enable batching
webview.enable_batching(max_size=10, max_age_ms=16)

@webview.on("event", batching=True)
def handle_event_batch(batch):
    # Process multiple messages at once
    for message in batch:
        process_data(message['data'])
```

**Benefits**:
- ✅ GIL lock count reduced 90%
- ✅ Throughput increased 5-10x
- ✅ Slight latency increase (16ms)

### 5. Resource Optimization

**Image Optimization**:

```html
<!-- Use WebP format -->
<img src="image.webp" alt="Image">

<!-- Lazy loading -->
<img src="image.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Image">

<!-- Responsive images -->
<img srcset="small.jpg 480w, medium.jpg 800w, large.jpg 1200w"
     sizes="(max-width: 600px) 480px, (max-width: 1000px) 800px, 1200px"
     src="medium.jpg" alt="Image">
```

**CSS Optimization**:

```html
<!-- Inline critical CSS -->
<style>
    /* Above-the-fold styles */
</style>

<!-- Async load non-critical CSS -->
<link rel="preload" href="non-critical.css" as="style" 
      onload="this.onload=null;this.rel='stylesheet'">
<noscript><link rel="stylesheet" href="non-critical.css"></noscript>
```

**JavaScript Optimization**:

```javascript
// Code splitting
const module = await import('./heavy-module.js');

// Debounce
function debounce(func, wait) {
    let timeout;
    return function(...args) {
        clearTimeout(timeout);
        timeout = setTimeout(() => func.apply(this, args), wait);
    };
}

// Throttle
function throttle(func, limit) {
    let inThrottle;
    return function(...args) {
        if (!inThrottle) {
            func.apply(this, args);
            inThrottle = true;
            setTimeout(() => inThrottle = false, limit);
        }
    };
}
```

## Best Practices

### Development

```python
# Enable performance monitoring
webview = WebView(
    title="My App",
    dev_tools=True,  # Enable DevTools
)

# Listen for performance events
@webview.on("first_paint")
def handle_first_paint(data):
    print(f"First paint: {data.get('time', 0):.2f} ms")
```

### Production

```python
# Disable DevTools
webview = WebView(
    title="My App",
    dev_tools=False,
)

# Enable batching
webview.enable_batching(max_size=10, max_age_ms=16)
```

### DCC Integration

```python
# Use embedded mode
webview = WebView.create(
    "Maya Tool",
    parent=maya_hwnd,
    mode="owner",
)

# Use scriptJob for event processing
def process_events():
    webview.process_events()

cmds.scriptJob(event=["idle", process_events])
```
