improve performance

Since the tool is browser-based and depends on browser-allocated memory, having too many tabs open or running the browser for extended periods (e.g., several days without closing) may cause slower response or noticeable lag. Try closing some tabs or restarting the browser to reinitialize memory allocation and improve performance.
