How can you improve the performance of jQuery code?

  • Save selections in variables (var $box = $('#box');).
  • Use chaining and .find() from a known parent.
  • Use event delegation for lists and dynamic content.
  • Build HTML first and add it in one DOM change.
  • Use classes (addClass) instead of many .css() calls.
  • Limit the work in scroll and resize handlers.
  • Use the minified file, a CDN or cache, and load scripts at the end of the page.
