Performance

For context, I'm working on a first draft of a document on performance...

• https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/9919

... and I plan to include the new frontend.

I'm creating this issue to start the conversation but I'm sure we'll create smaller and more actionable issues as we think about performance.

I very well could have missed it, but I don't see anything about performance in the re-arch docs we release recently: https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-community/c/2hfhWIHQddE/m/hATuWGGSAAAJ

As a starting point for the SPA, I went to PageSpeed Insights at https://pagespeed.web.dev and ran it against https://beta.dataverse.org/spa/ . Below is the report. 56 out of 100.

Do any our our existing tools already gives us measurements of performance? Cypress? Storybook? React itself? Can we set up GitHub Actions to execute existing performance tests? Or do we need to write them? These are the sorts of things I'm thinking about. 😄

(100% accessibility score by the way! 🎉 )

Start by reading the linked issue #9919 and the performance references in the issue, then review the PageSpeed Insights report for beta.dataverse.org/spa/. Determine whether Cypress, Storybook, React, or GitHub Actions already provide usable performance measurements; done would require a concrete, actionable performance-testing scope rather than this initial discussion.
