How do you optimize performance in UI-heavy jQuery apps?

Mid JQuery
Quick Answer UI-heavy jQuery performance: use CSS transitions instead of jQuery animations (GPU-accelerated), virtualize long lists, use DocumentFragment for bulk DOM inserts, debounce scroll/resize/input handlers, batch DOM reads before writes, use class toggling instead of inline styles, avoid .show()/.hide() in loops (use classList toggle with CSS transitions).

Answer

Cache selectors and DOM elements.
Use event delegation.
Minimize expensive animations.
Lazy load images/content to reduce initial load.
