The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) traded in the red ahead of the Easter long weekend, falling 0.25% to close Thursday's session at 7,219 points. That left it 0.57% higher week-on-week.

Weighing heaviest was the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XJO), which fell 2.1%. The Megaport Ltd (ASX: MP1) share price was the sector's biggest weight, falling 4.3%.

It followed a poor Wednesday session on the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC), which fell 1.1% overnight.

It was also a rough day for the S&P/ASX 200 Real Estate Index (ASX: XRE) and the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index (ASX: XDJ). They slumped 1.3% and 1.2% respectively.

But it wasn't all bad news on the market today. The S&P/ASX 200 Health Care Index (ASX: XHJ) posted the biggest gain, rising 1.7%.

So, with all that in mind, let's dive into today's top-performing ASX 200 shares.
