The useful optimization is the one you can implement within your platform. Hosting and delivery may be managed for you, while themes, components, apps and scripts remain under your control.
These guides apply performance principles to WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, Next.js and React. They distinguish platform behavior from configuration choices and identify version dependencies where an example relies on a particular API or rendering model.

A platform feature being enabled does not prove that a particular page benefits from it. Preserve checkout, navigation, content and accessibility while verifying the measured result.
