Description
jQuery continues to evolve to meet the needs of web developers. House cleaning in jQuery Core 1.9 and 2.0 has whittled away the fat and cruft from the API, plus the ability to create custom builds means you don't need to load what you don't use. When performance problems arise, however, it's important to understand how your use of jQuery can affect performance. We'll bust a few myths about what makes web pages slow and use some readily available tools to identify the real performance killers.
