The Stats panel and the Profiler are solid tools for diagnosing performance problems in your game, as well as determining where those problems are in the script, thereby suggesting how they may be corrected. However, as mentioned, optimization should begin in the design phase of development and should persist throughout all subsequent stages. Consequently, there are some general tips, tricks, and workflows that can be followed, with proper consideration and limitations, to help optimize your game throughout development, minimizing the problems that can emerge later.
