Cheapest default path

• server-first route
• narrow client islands
• cached or static data when possible
• minimal root providers
• delayed or removed third-party scripts

Most common expensive mistakes

• large 'use client' trees
• dynamic routes without a product reason
• providers or stateful wrappers at the app root
• shipping large browser-only SDKs to every route
