-If your function component renders the same result given the same props, you can wrap it in a call to `React.memo` for a performance boost in some cases by memoizing the result. This means that React will skip rendering the component, and reuse the last rendered result.

 `React.memo` only checks for prop changes. If your function component wrapped in `React.memo` has a [`useState`](/docs/hooks-state.html) or [`useContext`](/docs/hooks-reference.html#usecontext) Hook in its implementation, it will still rerender when state or context change.
