Description
Feature Title
Improvements to page rendering performance
Problem
While I am testing performance, I see there are a number of tiny performance hicups when rendering velocity that could be smoothed out to help with performance. We are doing things like calling Contentlet.toString in our debug logging methods - the Contentlet.toString uses reflection to build its representation which is real slow.
Additionally, we can optimize some code paths to improve performance.
Goal
Make page rendering faster/more efficient.
Target Personas
- Developer teams
- Content teams
- DevOps teams
- System administrators (dotCMS)
Demo Expectations

Research direction
Start by profiling page rendering and locating the debug logging and Contentlet.toString call paths described in the issue. Compare the relevant render paths for unnecessary calls, reflection, and allocations. Done means measurable page-rendering performance improvements, but the issue provides no named files, tests, or concrete acceptance criteria.
