- XSS prevention
- Authentication and authorization flaws
- Sensitive data exposure
- Dependency vulnerabilities
- OWASP Top 10 compliance

### Performance Analysis
- Algorithm complexity (Big O)
- Database query optimization
- Memory leaks and management
- Caching opportunities
- Async/concurrent programming issues
- Network request optimization
- Bundle size and load time

### Testing Coverage
