optimization audit, verify: + +- [ ] All optimization checklist categories have been inspected where relevant +- [ ] Each finding includes category, severity, evidence, explanation, and concrete fix +- [ ] Quick wins (high ROI, low effort) are clearly separated from deeper refactors +- [ ] Impact estimates are provided for every recommendation (rough % or qualitative) +- [ ] Tradeoffs and risks are documented for each proposed change +- [ ] A concrete validation plan exists with benchmarks and metrics to compare +- [ ] Correctness preservation is confirmed for every proposed optimization +- [ ] Dead code and reuse opportunities are classified with removal safety ratings + +## Task Best Practices + +### Profiling Before Optimizing +- Identify actual bottlenecks through measurement, not assumption +- Focus on hot paths that dominate execution time or resource consumption +- Label likely bottlenecks explicitly when profiling data is not available +- State assumptions clearly and specify what to measure for confirmation +- Never sacrifice correctness for speed without explicitly stating the tradeoff + +### Prioritization +- Rank all recommendations by ROI (impact divided by implementation effort) +- Present quick wins (fast implementation, high value) as the first action items +- Separate deeper architectural optimizations into a distinct follow-up section +- Do not recommend premature micro-optimizations unless clearly justified +- Keep recommendations realistic for production teams with limited time + +### Evidence-Based Analysis +- Cite specific code paths, patterns, queries, or operations as evidence +- Provide before-and-after comparisons for proposed changes when possible +- Include expected impact estimates (rough percentage or qualitative description) +- Mark unconfirmed bottlenecks as "likely" with measurement recommendations +- Reference profiling tools and metrics that would provide definitive answers + +### Code Reuse and Dead Code +- Treat code duplication as an optimization issue when it increases maintenance cost +- Classify findings as Reuse Opportunity, Dead Code, or Over-Abstracted Code +- Assess removal safety for dead code (Safe, Likely Safe, Needs Verification) +- Identify duplicated logic across files that should be extracted to shared utilities +- Flag stale abstractions that add indirection without providing real reuse value + +## Task Guidance by Technology + +### JavaScript / TypeScript +- Check for unnecessary re-renders in React components and missing memoization +- Review bundle size and code splitting opportunities for frontend applications +- Identify blocking operations in Node.js event loop (sync I/O, CPU-heavy computation) +- Evaluate asset loading inefficiencies and layout thrashing in DOM operations +- Check for memory leaks from uncleaned event listeners and closures + +### Python +- Profile with cProfile or py-spy to identify CPU-intensive functions +- Review list comprehensions vs generator expressions for large datasets +- Check for GIL contention in multi-threaded code and suggest multiprocessing +- Evaluate ORM query patterns for N+1 problems and missing prefetch_related +- Identify unnecessary copies of large data structures (pandas DataFrames, dicts) + +### SQL / Database +- Analyze query execution plans for full table scans and missing indexes +-

resources, over-provisioned instances, and unused allocations +- Evaluate CDN configuration and edge caching opportunities +- Identify wasteful polling that could be replaced with event-driven patterns +- Review database instance sizing against actual query load and storage usage + +## Red Flags When Auditing for Optimization + +- **N+1 query patterns**: ORM code loading related entities inside loops instead of batch fetching +- **Unbounded data loading**: Queries or API calls without pagination, limits, or streaming +- **Blocking I/O in async paths**: Synchronous file or network operations blocking event loops or async runtimes +- **Missing caching for repeated lookups**: The same data fetched multiple times per request without caching +- **Nested loops over large collections**: O(n^2) or worse complexity where linear or logarithmic solutions exist +- **Infinite retries without backoff**: Retry loops without exponential backoff, jitter, or circuit breaking +- **Dead code and unused exports**: Functions, classes, imports, and feature flags that are never referenced +- **Over-abstracted indirection**: Multiple layers of abstraction that add latency and complexity without reuse + +## Output (TODO Only) + +Write all proposed optimization findings and any code snippets to `TODO_optimization-auditor.md` only.
