Profiling SvelteKit Apps
Use browser DevTools, Lighthouse, and Vite bundle analyzer to find bottlenecks.
Profiling SvelteKit Apps is a free Sveltejs Academy lesson on CoddyKit — lesson 4 of 4. You can read the complete lesson below for free — then practise it hands-on in the browser with a built-in code editor and a 24/7 AI tutor. It is part of the Sveltejs Academy learning path, one of 4 lessons in the course, and your progress syncs across the web and the CoddyKit app.
Browser DevTools
Use the Performance tab to record interactions and find bottlenecks.
Lighthouse
Run Lighthouse on production builds for Core Web Vitals scores and actionable hints.
Network Tab
Inspect waterfall, payload sizes, and caching headers.
Bundle Analyzer
Install vite-bundle-visualizer to see what is in your bundles.
npm install -D vite-bundle-visualizerCPU Profile
The CPU tab in DevTools shows hot functions. Look for long tasks during interaction.
Memory Profiling
Use the Memory tab to detect leaks: take snapshots, navigate, take more, compare.
Core Web Vitals
Track LCP, CLS, INP in production via Real User Monitoring tools.
Source Maps
Production source maps make profile output readable. Balance with source-map exposure.
Real Devices
Test on mid-range phones, not just your laptop. Performance varies wildly.
Throttling
Throttle CPU and network in DevTools to simulate slower devices.
Continuous Monitoring
Set up alerts on Lighthouse CI or other tools so regressions get caught early.
Quick Check
What does Lighthouse measure?
Recap
Profile with DevTools, Lighthouse, and bundle visualizers. Test on real devices and monitor in production.
