    public IActionResult Index() => View();
}

What happened?

Study the example line by line.
Each part connects to Performance Best Practices.
Edit one line, save, and run dotnet run to see what changes.

Try it yourself

Apply one optimization from the example.
Measure before and after with simple timing or logs.
Avoid optimizing before you have a real bottleneck.
Change text or labels in the example and run again — watch the browser update.
Break the code on purpose (remove a semicolon), read the error message, then fix it.

Remember

You learned what Performance Best Practices is and when to use it. Practice by changing the example yourself. Explain it in your own words before moving on.
