Cloudflare Workers Performance Optimization

Techniques for maximizing Worker performance and minimizing latency.

Quick Wins

// 1. Avoid unnecessary cloning
// ❌ Bad: Clones entire request
const body = await request.clone().json();

// ✅ Good: Parse directly when not re-using body
const body = await request.json();

// 2. Use streaming instead of buffering
// ❌ Bad: Buffers entire response
const text = await response.text();
return new Response(transform(text));
