How does Livewire performance compare to a SPA?

For interactive forms, dashboards, and CRUD interfaces, Livewire performance is comparable to a well built SPA. Each user interaction triggers a small XHR to the server that returns only the changed DOM, which is then morphed into the page. Initial page load is faster than most SPAs because there is no large JavaScript bundle to download. The honest trade off is that Livewire is not the right call for offline support or interfaces with hundreds of small client side state updates per second (like real time canvas drawing or animation heavy interfaces).
