Optimizing Poolside-Generated Code for Performance
How to make your Poolside app faster. Common performance issues and practical fixes for production-ready speed.
Why Poolside apps are slow
Poolside may generate Java code with inefficient collection operations or unnecessary object creation in hot loops. C++ completions may not take advantage of SIMD, cache locality, or compile-time computation that an expert would use for performance-critical code
How to fix performance
Profile generated code on representative workloads before merging. For C++, use compiler optimization reports to verify that generated code is being optimized as expected. For Java, use JMH benchmarks for performance-sensitive paths
Measuring performance
Before optimizing, measure. Use your browser's Lighthouse audit to get a baseline score. Check Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS) — these directly affect your Google ranking. Use the Performance tab in DevTools to identify which components take the longest to render. For server-side performance, add timing logs to API routes to find slow endpoints.
Quick wins
The fastest way to improve performance: optimize and lazy-load images, enable compression on your server, remove unused CSS and JavaScript, implement code splitting so users only download code for the page they're viewing, and add proper caching headers for static assets. These changes alone can cut load times significantly.
Database optimization
If your Poolside app uses a database, slow queries are often the biggest performance bottleneck. Add indexes on columns you filter or sort by. Use SELECT to fetch only the columns you need instead of SELECT *. Implement pagination for lists — loading 10,000 rows at once will always be slow. Consider adding a caching layer for data that doesn't change frequently.
