The original title is "DEMYSTIFYING REACT COMPONENT INSTANCES" - it's in ALL-CAPS which violates the rules. Let me rewrite it.

Short summary

This article explains React component instances — the internal objects React creates each time a component is rendered, storing that component's state, props, DOM references, and children. It covers key behaviors: instances maintain isolated state, are destroyed on unmount, and only exist once a component is actually rendered. The post is a beginner-friendly conceptual walkthrough with pseudocode examples but no AI-related content.

• •React creates a component instance per render holding state, props, DOM refs, and children
• •Unmounting destroys the instance and its stored state permanently
• •No instance is created until a component is actually rendered
