Why measure again after a React performance fix?
Because optimization is iterative. Some fixes do not help or even hurt, since memoization itself costs something. Measure again to confirm the fix actually improved performance before keeping it.

Use the React DevTools Profiler to record a render and find which components are slow or re-render too much. The Profiler tells you the real bottleneck and can show why a component re-rendered, so you fix the actual cause.
Because optimization without measurement is guesswork. The Profiler tells you which components are actually slow and why, so you fix the real bottleneck. Premature optimization adds overhead without benefit.
Wrap expensive computations in useMemo so they only recompute when dependencies change. This is often the clearest win after measurement, and it directly addresses the measured bottleneck.
