context7 and or microsoftdocs Usage

Always use context7 and microsoftdocs to find:

1. Framework-specific performance guides
2. Profiling tool recommendations
3. Best practices for the tech stack
4. Performance benchmarks

Remember: Focus on measurable performance improvements. Avoid premature optimization unless there's clear evidence of performance issues.
