HOW THIS GUIDE IS ORGANIZED
Optimizing the React Native app is a complex process where you
need to take various aspects into account – from implementation
through using the latest React Native features to testing and con-
tinuous deployment.

INTRODUCTION TO REACT
NATIVE OPTIMIZATION
IT’S ALL ABOUT TTI AND FPS?
Wait a minute, what are these weird acronyms even?! When
thinking about optimizing a mobile React Native app, we need
to acknowledge the two most important metrics—apart from
the value proposition and engagement—that our users will base
their feeling of how fast and snappy our app is, are the Time To
Interactive (TTI) and Frames Per Second (FPS).
REACT NATIVE TAKES CARE
OF THE RENDERING. BUT
PERFORMANCE IS STILL KEY.
With React Native, you create components that describe how
your interface should look like. During the runtime, React Native
turns them into platform-specific native components. Rather
than talking directly to the underlying APIs, you focus on the user
experience of your application.

However, that doesn’t mean all the applications developed with

React Native are equally fast and offer the same level of user
experience.

EVERY DECLARATIVE APPROACH (INCLUDING REACT NATIVE) IS

BUILT UPON IMPERATIVE APIS, WHICH REQUIRES GREAT CARE.
REACT NATIVE UNIFIES PERFORMANCE, BUT IT ISN’T A GUARANTEE!

BUT IS “SAME” A SYNONYM FOR “BEST”? IT’S NOT.
