Fixes #8089
Before inside the "Optimizing performance" deep dive, the link with text "Performance" would send us to the legacy React docs.
Clicking on "Performance" above would send us here:
The link on this legacy page for "memo: Skipping re-rendering when props are unchanged" points to the new docs. This is the same link used in this PR.
Now clicking on "Performance" navigates to here:
Additional Considerations
Despite the old docs linking to https://react.dev/reference/react/memo#skipping-re-rendering-when-props-are-unchanged, this new page is in the Reference section for
memo. There doesn't seem to be a comprehensive Learn section for performance.The closest I could find is https://react.dev/learn/react-compiler/introduction#optimizing-re-renders, which may be more appropriate considering the React Compiler is now stable. https://react.dev/reference/react/memo#skipping-re-rendering-when-props-are-unchanged still does mention the React Compiler, though only does so later down.
Topics in legacy link that are not covered in the new link
Topics not mentioned in either related to reducing the frequency of re-renders
