What are
Throttling and
Debouncing?
Imagine you have a water tap and a bucket. Throttling
is like controlling the flow of water from the tap to
prevent overflow, while debouncing is like waiting for
a pause in the flow before taking action.
In JavaScript, throttling and debouncing help manage
the frequency of function calls, especially in events
like scrolling or typing.
Why it is
important
Throttling and debouncing are essential tools for
optimizing performance and improving user
experience in web applications. They prevent
excessive function calls, reduce browser lag, and
enhance responsiveness, especially in scenarios with
high-frequency events.
