WebAssembly (Wasm) is a revolutionary technology in web development, allowing high- performance applications to match native software in speed and efficiency. This paper discusses the role of WebAssembly in improving the performance of web applications through a portable, low-level binary format that runs at near-native speeds. By reviewing its architecture, use cases, and integration with current web technologies, this research points out how WebAssembly closes the gap between web and native performance. The study also looks at existing limitations and suggests future directions for its use in sophisticated, resource-hungry applications. Findings indicate that WebAssembly is a key tool for the future of web-based software, giving developers unprecedented flexibility and power.
