The provided call tree represents the execution path triggered by a user click event. This event initiated a v8.callFunction task which took 256.1ms. This V8 function call then branched into two main parts: a Function call (105.4ms) and Run microtasks (149.9ms).

The Function call branch appears to handle initial event processing and includes significant activity related to Google Tag Manager/Analytics, indicated by calls like legacySendEvent and sendGA4Event which interact with scripts from Google Tag Manager domains.

The Run microtasks branch, which consumed more time (149.9ms), seems to be involved in application logic, potentially related to rendering or updates, originating from the NextJS framework and app chunks. This branch includes calls related to CSS processing (css, renderRule, _renderStyle, _renderStyleToClassNames) and DOM manipulation (removeChild, getPropertyValue, Recalculate style).

A notable pattern within the Run microtasks branch is the highly repetitive sequence of oK and oQ calls. While each individual oK call shows a duration of 8.3ms, the sheer number of repetitions suggests a loop or recurring operation that is consuming a significant amount of cumulative time within this microtask execution. This pattern originates from the NextJS framework chunk.

The analysis of a specific callframe requires identifying which node was selected. Please indicate the selected node from the provided tree so a more focused analysis can be performed.

Based on the overall structure, potential areas for investigation include:

• Google Tag Manager/Analytics Overhead: The multiple calls to send events (legacySendEvent, sendGA4Event) and the subsequent execution within the Google Tag Manager scripts contribute to the overall click response time. Reviewing the number and complexity of tags and triggers firing on this click event in your Google Tag Manager configuration could reveal opportunities for consolidation or optimization.
• Repetitive Framework Logic: The extensive chain of oK/oQ calls in the microtask queue is a strong indicator of a performance bottleneck. This pattern suggests a function is being called repeatedly, possibly in a loop or as part of a rendering/update cycle. Investigate the code within the NextJS framework chunk that corresponds to this oK/oQ sequence to understand why it's executing so many times and if the operation can be made more efficient or triggered less frequently.
• Styling and Layout: The presence of css, renderRule, _renderStyleToClassNames, getPropertyValue, and Recalculate style calls indicates that styling and potentially layout calculations are occurring. Large or complex style updates, especially those that trigger layout recalculations, can be expensive. Analyze the styling logic triggered by this click event to see if styles can be applied more efficiently or if layout invalidations can be minimized. If using a CSS-in-JS library, investigate its specific performance characteristics and optimization techniques.
