Quick Answer
For large DOM performance: use detach() when doing many DOM manipulations (removes from DOM, manipulate, re-attach - avoids repeated reflows), use document fragments, batch class changes, avoid reading layout properties (offsetWidth) inside loops, cache selector results, and minimize DOM depth. Profile with browser DevTools Performance tab to find bottlenecks.
