================================================================================ ARCHIE PLATFORM PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS FINAL SUMMARY ================================================================================ ANALYSIS DATE: 2025-11-25 STATUS: COMPLETE & READY FOR IMPLEMENTATION POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENT: 50-70% overall performance gain ================================================================================ 5 CRITICAL BOTTLENECKS ================================================================================ 1. FRONTEND BUNDLE SIZE (78MB) Severity: CRITICAL | Effort: 1-2 days | Impact: 30-40% faster load Root Cause: No build optimization, minification, or code-splitting Fix: Update vite.config.ts with production build settings Expected: 78MB → 15MB (81% reduction) 2. DASHBOARD POLLING (288 API calls/day) Severity: CRITICAL | Effort: 1 day | Impact: 80-90% fewer requests Root Cause: 3 API calls every 30 seconds with no caching Fix: Implement sessionStorage caching + React.memo Expected: 288 requests → <30 requests/day 3. RATE LIMITER MIDDLEWARE (15-45ms/request) Severity: HIGH | Effort: 2 days | Impact: 30-40% latency reduction Root Cause: 3 separate rate limiters making sequential Redis calls Fix: Consolidate into single unified middleware Expected: 15-45ms → 5-15ms per request 4. WEBSOCKET IN-MEMORY FALLBACK (Blocks Scaling) Severity: HIGH | Effort: 3 days | Impact: Enables horizontal scaling Root Cause: In-memory state not shared between instances Fix: Implement subscription cleanup + require Redis Expected: Single instance → multi-instance capable 5. CACHE HIT INEFFICIENCY (40-50% latency waste) Severity: HIGH | Effort: 1 day | Impact: 40-50% faster cache hits Root Cause: Cache hits still run full analysis Fix: Return cached result directly Expected: 300ms → 50-100ms for cache hits ================================================================================ IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE ================================================================================ WEEK 1: CRITICAL FIXES (10 engineer-days) ├─ Day 1-2: Vite bundle optimization ├─ Day 2-3: Dashboard caching & memoization ├─ Day 3-4: Rate limiter consolidation ├─ Day 4-5: Testing & validation Expected Result: 2-3x faster user experience WEEK 2: HIGH-PRIORITY (10 engineer-days) ├─ Cache optimization in orchestrator ├─ WebSocket subscription cleanup ├─ Build performance improvements ├─ Monitoring dashboard setup Expected Result: Additional 20-30% improvement WEEK 3: MEDIUM-PRIORITY (5-10 engineer-days) ├─ Database monitoring ├─ Async task management ├─ Message batching ├─ Documentation & training Expected Result: Operational visibility & resilience ================================================================================ PERFORMANCE GAINS ================================================================================ CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE (Week 1 Only): Initial Load Time: 3-5s → 1-2s (60% faster) Dashboard API Calls: 288/day → 30/day (90% reduction) API Latency: 45ms → 25ms (44% faster) User Experience: 2-3x faster OPTIMISTIC ESTIMATE (Full Implementation): Initial Load Time: 3-5s → 0.8-1.5s (75% faster) API Request Latency: 45ms → 10ms (78% faster) WebSocket Scaling: Single → Multi-instance Memory Usage: Growing → Stable (20-30% reduction) System Performance: 50-70% improvement overall ================================================================================ GENERATED DOCUMENTATION ================================================================================ 1.
