Quick Answer
jQuery performance bottlenecks: selector repeated in loops (cache it), many individual DOM mutations in a loop (use DocumentFragment), animation queue buildup (stop before re-trigger), AJAX calls without deduplication (abort previous), event listener accumulation (never remove), large .data() caches without eviction, and blocking synchronous AJAX calls.
Answer
Too many DOM queries in loops. Excess event bindings instead of delegation. Animating layout properties instead of transform/opacity. Frequent DOM reflows caused by repetitive DOM updates.
