# Vite 4.3 is out!

_April 20, 2023_

## Performance Improvements

In this minor, we focused on improving the dev server performance. The resolve logic got streamlined, improving hot paths and implementing smarter caching for finding `package.json`, TS config files, and resolved URL in general.

You can read a detailed walkthrough of the performance work done in this blog post by one of Vite Contributors: [How we made Vite 4.3 faaaaster 🚀](https://sun0day.github.io/blog/vite/why-vite4_3-is-faster.html).

This sprint resulted in speed improvements across the board compared to Vite 4.2.

These are the performance improvements as measured by [sapphi-red/performance-compare](https://github.com/sapphi-red/performance-compare), which tests an app with 1000 React Components cold and warm dev server startup time as well as HMR times for a root and a leaf component:

| **Vite (babel)** | Vite 4.2 | Vite 4.3 | Improvement |
| :----------------- | --------: | -------: | ----------: |
| **dev cold start** | 17249.0ms | 5132.4ms | -70.2% |
| **dev warm start** | 6027.8ms | 4536.1ms | -24.7% |
| **Root HMR** | 46.8ms | 26.7ms | -42.9% |
| **Leaf HMR** | 27.0ms | 12.9ms | -52.2% |

| **Vite (swc)** | Vite 4.2 | Vite 4.3 | Improvement |
| :----------------- | --------: | -------: | ----------: |
| **dev cold start** | 13552.5ms | 3201.0ms | -76.4% |
| **dev warm start** | 4625.5ms | 2834.4ms | -38.7% |
| **Root HMR** | 30.5ms | 24.0ms | -21.3% |
| **Leaf HMR** | 16.9ms | 10.0ms | -40.8% |

You can read more information about the benchmark [here](https://gist.github.com/sapphi-red/25be97327ee64a3c1dce793444afdf6e). Specs and Versions for this performance run:

- CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X, Memory: DDR4-3600 32GB, SSD: WD Blue SN550 NVME SSD
- Windows 10 Pro 21H2 19044.2846
- Node.js 18.16.0
- Vite and React Plugin versions
- Vite 4.2 (babel): Vite 4.2.1 + plugin-react 3.1.0
- Vite 4.3 (babel): Vite 4.3.0 + plugin-react 4.0.0-beta.1
- Vite 4.2 (swc): Vite 4.2.1 + plugin-react-swc 3.2.0
- Vite 4.3 (swc): Vite 4.3.0 + plugin-react-swc 3.3.0

Early adopters have also reported seeing 1.5x-2x dev startup time improvement on real apps while testing the Vite 4.3 beta. We'd love to know the results for your apps.

## Profiling

We'll continue to work on Vite's performance. We're working on an official [Benchmark tool](https://github.com/vitejs/vite-benchmark) for Vite that let us get performance metrics for each Pull Request.

And [vite-plugin-inspect](https://github.com/antfu/vite-plugin-inspect) now has more performance-related features to help you identify which plugins or middlewares are the bottleneck for your applications.

Using `vite --profile` (and then pressing `p`) once the page loads will save a CPU profile of the dev server startup. You can open them in an app as [speedscope](https://www.speedscope.app/) to identify performance issues. And you can share your findings with the Vite Team in a [Discussion](https://github.com/vitejs/vite/discussions) or in [Vite's Discord](https://chat.vitejs.dev).

## Next Steps

We decided to do a single Vite Major this year aligning with the [EOL of Node.js 16](https://endoflife.date/nodejs) in September, dropping support for both Node.js 14 and 16 in it. If you would like to get involved, we started a [Vite 5 Discussion](https://github.com/vitejs/vite/discussions/12466) to gather early feedback.
