Quick Answer
jQuery performance tips: cache selectors (var $btn = $(".btn") instead of $(".btn") repeatedly), use ID selectors (fastest), minimize DOM updates (batch with HTML strings), use event delegation for dynamic content, avoid DOM traversal inside loops, use .detach() when doing many manipulations then re-attach, and load jQuery at page bottom to not block rendering.
Answer
Cache selectors, reduce DOM traversal, use delegation, minimize animations.
