Avoiding excessive DOM size
The DOM represents the structure of HTML elements on a webpage and directly impacts how quickly the browser can render and interact with the page. DOM size refers to the total number of elements (HTML tags), including nodes and their relationships (parent-child or sibling), styles, and attributes, that make up the structure of a webpage.
Each element in the DOM requires memory and processing time for rendering and scripting operations. A large DOM size can lead to slower performance, increased memory usage, and potential rendering issues. This is why avoiding excessive DOM size is crucial for optimizing web page performance and ensuring a smooth user experience.
