};

Performance Budget Monitoring¶

1. Automated Budget Checks¶

# Run performance budget validation
npm run validate:budgets

# Check specific metrics
npm run check:bundle-size
npm run check:core-web-vitals
npm run check:cdn-performance

2. Budget Configuration¶

// performance-budgets.json
{
    "budgets": [
        {
            "resourceSizes": [
                {
                    "resourceType": "total",
                    "budget": 300
                },
                {
                    "resourceType": "stylesheet",
                    "budget": 200
                },
                {
                    "resourceType": "script",
                    "budget": 100
                }
            ]
        }
    ],
    "coreWebVitals": {
        "lcp": 2500,
        "fid": 100,
        "cls": 0.1,
        "inp": 200
    }
}

3. Budget Violation Response¶

When performance budgets are exceeded:

Immediate Actions:
Identify the cause (new dependencies, large assets)
Implement quick fixes (compression, minification)
Monitor for improvement
Analysis:
Run bundle analyzer: npm run analyze:bundles
Check Core Web Vitals: npm run test:cwv
Review CDN performance: npm run check:cdn
Remediation:
Apply appropriate optimization strategy
Test performance impact
Update monitoring thresholds if needed

Bundle Management¶

1. Regular Bundle Analysis¶

# Analyze bundle composition
npm run analyze:bundles

# Check for unused dependencies
npm run audit:deps

# Identify large dependencies
npm run report:large-deps

2. Dependency Maintenance¶

# Update dependencies safely
npm audit
npm update

# Check for security vulnerabilities
npm audit fix

# Remove unused dependencies
npm run cleanup:deps

3. Bundle Size Optimization¶

// Monitor bundle size trends
function trackBundleSizeHistory() {
    const currentSizes = getBundleSizes();
    const history = loadBundleHistory();

    history.push({
        date: new Date().toISOString(),
        sizes: currentSizes
    });

    // Alert if size increased significantly
    if (history.length > 1) {
        const previous = history[history.length - 2];
        const increase = calculateSizeIncrease(previous.sizes, currentSizes);

        if (increase > 0.1) { // 10% increase
            sendBundleSizeAlert(increase, currentSizes);
        }
    }

    saveBundleHistory(history);
}

CDN Maintenance¶

1. Health Monitoring¶

# Check CDN status
curl -I https://cdn.ultimate-mkdocs.com/health-check

# Test geographic distribution
npm run test:cdn-global

# Monitor cache performance
npm run monitor:cache-performance

2. Cache Management¶

// Regular cache optimization
async function optimizeCDNCache() {
    // Warm cache for critical assets
    await warmCriticalAssets();

    // Invalidate stale content
    await invalidateStaleCache();

    // Monitor cache hit rates
    const hitRate = await getCacheHitRate();

    if (hitRate < 90) {
        console.warn(`Low cache hit rate: ${hitRate}%`);
        await investigateCacheIssues();
    }
}

3. Performance Validation¶

# Test CDN response times from multiple locations
npm run test:cdn-latency

# Validate cache headers
npm run validate:cache-headers

# Check SSL certificate status
npm run check:ssl-cert

Core Web Vitals Maintenance¶

1. Continuous Monitoring¶

// Set up continuous CWV monitoring
setInterval(() => {
    const currentCWV = getCurrentCoreWebVitals();

    // Check against thresholds
    const violations = checkCWVViolations(currentCWV);

    if (violations.length > 0) {
        sendCWVAlert(violations);
    }

    // Log to analytics
    trackCWVTrends(currentCWV);
}, 300000); // Check every 5 minutes

2. Performance Regression Detection¶

// Detect performance regressions
function detectPerformanceRegression() {
    const currentMetrics = getCurrentPerformanceMetrics();
    const baseline = getPerformanceBaseline();

    const regressions = [];

    Object.keys(currentMetrics).forEach(metric => {
        const current = currentMetrics[metric];
        const base = baseline[metric];

        if (current > base * 1.1) { // 10% regression threshold
            regressions.push({
                metric,
                current,
                baseline: base,
                regression: ((current - base) / base * 100).toFixed(1) + '%'
            });
        }
    });

    if (regressions.length > 0) {
        handlePerformanceRegression(regressions);
    }
}

3. Optimization Effectiveness Tracking¶

// Track optimization impact over time
function trackOptimizationImpact() {
    const metrics = {
        beforeOptimization: getHistoricalMetrics('before'),
        afterOptimization: getCurrentMetrics(),
        improvements: calculateImprovements()
    };

    // Generate impact report
    generateImpactReport(metrics);

    // Update optimization recommendations
    updateOptimizationRecommendations(metrics);
}

Troubleshooting Procedures¶

Performance Degradation¶

Identify the Issue:

npm run diagnose:performance
npm run analyze:bottlenecks

Common Causes & Solutions:
Large bundles: Run bundle analyzer, implement code splitting
