Performance & Best Practices
wouter-vue is designed for maximum performance. Follow these best practices.
Route Prioritization
Always place most frequent routes first in <Switch>:
Avoid Large v-for Loops
❌ Don’t:
✅ Do:
Use dynamic parameters instead of many routes.
Use Dispatcher Pattern
Create a dispatcher component for dynamic routes:
This reduces <Switch> checks from N to 1.
Performance Comparison
Based on load testing (3,300 users, 200 routes):
| Metric | wouter-vue | vue-router |
|---|---|---|
| Throughput | 117 req/s | 68 req/s |
| Total Requests | 36,300 | 19,800 |
| Latency (p50) | 1 ms | 1 ms |
wouter-vue handles 72% more requests per second with identical latency.
Notes
- Prioritize routes by frequency
- Use dynamic parameters instead of loops
