Mapbox Performance Patterns Skill

This skill provides performance optimization guidance for building fast, efficient Mapbox applications. Patterns are prioritized by impact on user experience, starting with the most critical improvements.

Performance philosophy: These aren't micro-optimizations. They show up as waiting time, jank, and repeat costs that hit every user session.

Priority Levels

Performance issues are prioritized by their impact on user experience:

• 🔴 Critical (Fix First): Directly causes slow initial load or visible jank
• 🟡 High Impact: Noticeable delays or increased resource usage
• 🟢 Optimization: Incremental improvements for polish

🔴 Critical: Eliminate Initialization Waterfalls

Problem: Sequential loading creates cascading delays where each resource waits for the previous one.
