Performance improvements in Next.js

I have a fintech website, screeningtale.com, that offers backtesting services for stock trading strategies. The site is built with Next.js frontend and FastAPI backend.

ScreeningTale is at this time functional, but the loading speed on the various pages are far from optimal. Especially the ticker pages (screeningtale.com/ticker/AAPL) and the search bar component can be improved. In these two cases, and a few others, I know both the issue and the basics of a possible solution. I want a Next.js developer to fix these performance issues as well as discovering and implementing new performance enhancement opportunities.

I have a large backlog of features I want implemented after the speed improvement, so if I’m satisfied with the work on this project, I will therefore probably use the same freelancer for lots of future work on my site. For this reason, it is beneficial if the freelancer is familiar with Chakra UI, the UI library I have used. Knowledge of FastAPI, Docker and PostgreSQL could also be nice in the future.

If you are interested in the project, include a few thoughts on how you would go forward with the task (how you would measure the performance, how to find the bottlenecks, what issues you would look for), either in the proposal or in DMs.

I have no problem hiring from overseas:)
