## Performance Considerations

### Database Optimization
- All theme queries use eager loading (`with()`)
- Count queries use `withCount()`
- Indexes on frequently queried columns
- JSON columns for flexible data storage

### Frontend Optimization
- AJAX for all state changes (no page reloads)
- Image lazy loading
- CSS transitions for smooth UX
- Debounced search inputs

### Caching Opportunities (Future)
- Cache theme list
- Cache component data
- Cache preset information
- Cache user's active theme

---

## Migration Path

### For Existing Websites

**Current State:**
```php
websites
  ├─ theme: 'default'  // Old string column
  └─ active_theme_id: NULL
```

**New State:**
```php
websites
  ├─ theme: 'default'  // Kept for backward compatibility
  └─ active_theme_id: 32  // New database theme
```

**Migration Strategy:**
1. Keep existing `theme` column
2. Add `active_theme_id` column
3. When theme is installed, set `active_theme_id`
4. Rendering logic checks `active_theme_id` first, falls back to `theme`
5. Gradual migration as users install new themes
