# NextJS Boilerplate - TODO & Improvements
|
||
|
||
This directory contains comprehensive checklists for improving the NextJS boilerplate across different areas. Each checklist is designed to be actionable with clear priorities and implementation guidance.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 📁 Available Checklists
|
||
|
||
### 🚀 [Performance Optimization](./PERFORMANCE_OPTIMIZATION.md)
|
||
|
||
**Priority**: 🔴 Critical
|
||
**Current Issue**: LCP 2.6s (needs to be < 1.2s)
|
||
**Key Focus**: Remove blocking startup checks, implement Redis caching, optimize auth context
|
||
|
||
**Major Issues**:
|
||
|
||
- Blocking database checks delay page rendering by ~1.5s
|
||
- Every page load hits MongoDB for user data (~0.5s)
|
||
- Auth context makes unnecessary API calls (~0.25s)
|
||
|
||
**Expected Improvement**: 2.6s → 0.4s LCP (80% improvement)
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### 🔐 [Security Improvements](./SECURITY_IMPROVEMENTS.md)
|
||
|
||
**Priority**: 🟡 Medium
|
||
**Focus**: Production-ready security standards
|
||
**Key Areas**: Rate limiting, password policies, email verification, security headers
|
||
|
||
**Major Gaps**:
|
||
|
||
- No rate limiting on authentication endpoints
|
||
- Weak password requirements (6 chars minimum)
|
||
- No email verification system
|
||
- Missing security headers and monitoring
|
||
|
||
**Target**: OWASP Top 10 compliance + industry security standards
|
||
|

### 🏗️ [Code Quality Improvements](./CODE_QUALITY_IMPROVEMENTS.md)
|
||
|
||
**Priority**: 🟢 Low-Medium
|
||
**Focus**: Maintainability and developer experience
|
||
**Key Areas**: Error handling, type safety, documentation, accessibility
|
||
|
||
**Improvement Areas**:
|
||
|
||
- Standardize error handling patterns
|
||
- Improve TypeScript strict mode usage
|
||
- Add comprehensive API documentation
|
||
- Enhance accessibility compliance
|
||
|
||
**Target**: Production-ready code quality standards

## 🎯 Implementation Strategy
|
||
|
||
### Phase 1: Critical Performance Issues (Week 1)
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Priority: 🔴 CRITICAL - Blocks good user experience
|
||
Target: Fix LCP from 2.6s to < 1.2s
|
||
|
||
✅ Immediate Actions:
|
||
1. Remove blocking startup checks from layout
|
||
2. Implement Redis caching for /me endpoint
|
||
3. Optimize auth context with localStorage
|
||
4. Move database connections to background
|
||
|
||
Expected Result: ~2s improvement in page load time
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Phase 2: Security Hardening (Week 2-3)
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Priority: 🟡 MEDIUM - Required for production
|
||
|
||
✅ Essential Security:
|
||
1. Add rate limiting to auth endpoints
|
||
2. Strengthen password requirements
|
||
3. Implement basic security headers
|
||
4. Add environment variable validation
|
||
|
||
Expected Result: Production-ready security baseline
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Phase 3: Code Quality & Long-term (Month 2+)
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Priority: 🟢 LOW-MEDIUM - Important for maintenance
|
||
|
||
✅ Quality Improvements:
|
||
1. Standardize error handling
|
||
2. Improve type safety
|
||
3. Add API documentation
|
||
4. Enhance accessibility
|
||
|
||
Expected Result: Better maintainability and developer experience
|
||
```
