Description
### What is this about?
Current browser performance issues:
- Reports from internal&external users mentioning general "slow performance and clunkiness", especially on lower-end devices
- Page load feels slow at times
- Biggest offender is a homepage - Portfolio, the issue there is likely on the site itself
- Browser tabs are reloaded any time you switch the tab or switch from-to the browser, which adds to the feeling of slow performance
Tactics:
1. Profile page load on a list of top dapps against top competitors and native mobile browser
2. Explore the possibility of caching the recently active tabs to speed up switching between dapps

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by profiling page loads for a list of top dapps against competitors and the native mobile browser, then investigate why browser tabs reload when switching between them. The issue provides no files, tests, or acceptance criteria; completion would require measured performance improvements and a defined approach for caching recently active tabs.
