PERFORMANCE TIPS

1) Use Strict Mode

Enabling strict mode in JavaScript catches common coding bloopers, prevents the
use of undeclared variables, and makes your code run faster.

“use strict;” can tell the browser to execute in strict mode, which can improve the
performance

2) Minimize DOM Manipulation

Manipulating the Document Object Model (DOM) is one of the slowest operations
in JavaScript. Reducing the number of direct DOM manipulations can significantly
improve performance.

Instead of:

2) Minimize DOM Manipulation

Use Document Fragments

By using a document fragment, you batch your DOM updates, which is much more
efficient.
Personal Note: After switching to document fragments in a dynamic list, I noticed a
significant reduction in rendering time, especially with large datasets.

3) Use Event Delegation

Attaching event listeners to multiple DOM elements can be inefficient. Event


delegation allows you to handle events at a higher level in the DOM.

4) Avoid Memory Leaks

Attaching event listeners to multiple DOM elements can be inefficient. Event


delegation allows you to handle events at a higher level in the DOM.

Common Pitfall:

5) Optimize Loops

Loops can be performance bottlenecks. Simple changes can make them more
efficient.

Instead of:

Cache the Length:

6) Debounce and Throttle Expensive Functions

For functions that are called frequently, like window resizing or scrolling, use
debouncing or throttling to limit how often they run.

Debounce Example:

6) Debounce and Throttle Expensive Functions

For functions that are called frequently, like window resizing or scrolling, use
debouncing or throttling to limit how often they run.

Throttle Example:

7) Use Asynchronous Code Wisely

Non-blocking code keeps your application responsive. Use asynchronous programming


features like async/await and Promises.

By handling operations asynchronously, you prevent blocking the main thread.
