Checklist

Recompositions

• Composables only recompose when state changes
• State properly scoped with remember
• Stable item keys in LazyColumn

Lists

• Use LazyColumn not Column + verticalScroll for large data
• Stable keys via key() parameter
• Lightweight item composables

Memory

• No memory leaks (avoid Activity/View refs)
• Use Coil/Glide for image loading with caching
• Proper lifecycle management

Body Computation

• No heavy work in composable body
• Use remember for expensive calculations
• Use derivedStateOf for derived state

Quick Wins

Issue	Fix
Parent recomposes	Extract stable child composables
Expensive body	Use remember or derivedStateOf
Unstable IDs	Use stable keys in LazyColumn
Memory leak	Avoid storing Activity/View references
Broad recomposition	Narrow state scope

Debug

Use Layout Inspector → Recomposition Counts to visualize recompositions

Severity

• 🔴 Critical: Visible lag, leaks
• 🟡 Moderate: Noticeable impact
• 🟢 Minor: Optimization opportunity
