Common causes of slow performing jQuery and how to optimize the code?
- by Polaris878
Hello,
This might be a bit of a vague or general question, but I figure it might be able to serve as a good resource for other jQuery-ers.
I'm interested in common causes of slow running jQuery and how to optimize these cases.
We have a good amount of jQuery/JavaScript performing actions on our page... and performance can really suffer with a large number off elements.
What are some obvious performance pitfalls you know of with jQuery? What are some general optimizations a jQuery-er can do to squeeze every last bit of performance out of his/her scripts?
One example: a developer may use a selector to access an element that is slower than some other way.
Thanks
