Obsidian Plugin React Performance

Use this skill when a plugin already uses React and performance or responsiveness matters more than adding new features.

Typical triggers

• "This view rerenders constantly"
• "Typing in this search box is laggy"
• "Can we lazy-load this heavy panel?"
• "Why is this React plugin UI janky?"
• "Which optimizations matter most here?"

Priorities for Obsidian plugins

1. Bundle and load cost

• reduce initial bundle weight
• lazy-load heavy components when they are not needed immediately
• avoid broad barrel imports in hot UI paths
• defer non-critical third-party code
