React

React development, security, and deployment services

React is the most common framework in AI-generated apps. Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, and v0 all default to React - meaning React codebases are where we find the most issues.

Common React issues we find

Real problems from React codebases we've reviewed.

Security

XSS via dangerouslySetInnerHTML

AI tools use dangerouslySetInnerHTML to render dynamic content without sanitization, allowing script injection.

Security

Exposed environment variables

Sensitive keys placed in NEXT_PUBLIC_ or REACT_APP_ prefixed variables, making them visible in the browser bundle.

Performance

Unnecessary re-renders

Missing React.memo, useMemo, and useCallback cause components to re-render on every parent update, degrading performance.

Bug

Unhandled promise rejections

Async operations in useEffect without proper error handling crash silently or show raw error messages.

Bug

Missing error boundaries

A single component error crashes the entire application. No fallback UI to gracefully handle failures.

Performance

Large bundle size

Importing entire libraries, unused dependencies, and no code splitting result in slow initial page loads.

Bug

Hydration mismatches

Server-rendered HTML doesn't match client-rendered output, causing layout shifts and console errors.

Deployment

Missing production optimizations

Development-mode React in production, no source map configuration, and unminified bundles.

Frequently asked questions

Is React code from AI tools production-ready?

Usually functional but not production-ready. According to research by Veracode, roughly 45% of AI-generated code contains security vulnerabilities. Common gaps in AI-generated React code include missing error boundaries, no performance optimization (memo, useMemo, lazy loading), and XSS vulnerabilities from improper user data handling.

Should I use React or Next.js?

For most apps, Next.js is the better choice - it adds server-side rendering, routing, and API routes on top of React. Most AI tools already default to Next.js.

Can you optimize my React app's performance?

Yes. We profile your app, identify unnecessary re-renders, optimize bundle size, add code splitting, and implement caching strategies.

How do you audit React code?

We review component architecture, state management patterns, API interaction security, error handling, and performance characteristics.
