Performance Bottlenecks

Performance bottlenecks occur when one part of a system limits the overall speed or efficiency of the entire process. Think of it like a narrow bridge in a busy city—traffic backs up because the bridge can't handle the volume. In technology, this could be a slow server, limited memory, or inefficient software that causes delays. Identifying and addressing these bottlenecks helps improve system performance, making tasks faster and smoother. Essentially, it’s about pinpointing the weakest link that holds everything else back and fixing it to optimize overall operation.
