Framer Motion Best Practices

A comprehensive performance optimization guide for Framer Motion with 42 rules across 9 categories, from bundle size reduction to exit animations. You'll want this when writing or refactoring React animations to avoid common pitfalls like unnecessary re-renders and bloated bundles. The priority system is genuinely helpful, starting with critical issues like using LazyMotion instead of the full motion import and leveraging useMotionValue to prevent re-renders, then working down to nice-to-haves like SVG morphing techniques. Each rule links to its own reference file with examples. It's clearly built from real-world optimization work, and the categorization by performance impact makes it easy to focus on what actually matters when your animations are janky or your bundle is huge.
