Memory Leak Analysis in SPAs

Summary

Detect, isolate, and fix memory leaks in long-running React Single Page Applications.

Key Capabilities

• Profile heap snapshots to find detached DOM trees.
• Identify closure retention cycles in hooks and listeners.
• Verify cleanup execution in useEffect and unmount life-cycles.

PhD-Level Challenges

• Automate regression testing for memory consumption.
• Analyze leaks caused by hydration of large data structures.
• Trace leaks across React Router navigation boundaries.

Acceptance Criteria

• Provide heap comparison reports before/after fixes.
• Demonstrate stable memory usage over extended sessions.
• Document memory profiling methodology.
