To improve network performance, you can consider several strategies and tools discussed in various WWDC sessions:

Profiling and Optimization: Use profiling tools to identify bottlenecks in your network operations. For instance, in the session "Deploy machine learning and AI models on-device with Core ML," it is suggested to use performance reports to identify bottlenecks by sorting operations based on their estimated time. This can help in optimizing the network by addressing the most time-consuming operations.
Memory Management: Efficient memory management can indirectly improve network performance by reducing overhead. The session "Analyze heap memory" discusses strategies like enabling whole module optimization, profiling for expensive struct copies, and minimizing the use of reference types. These practices can help in reducing memory-related performance issues.
Swift Performance: The session "Explore Swift performance" emphasizes the importance of algorithmic improvements and low-level performance optimizations. By improving the efficiency of your code, you can enhance overall application performance, including network operations.
Media Performance Metrics: In the session "Discover media performance metrics in AVFoundation," it is suggested to use client-side metrics to triage issues in the field. Monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) can help in identifying and addressing network-related issues.

For more detailed insights, you might want to explore specific chapters from these sessions:
