Use the performance.now() API for high-resolution timestamps with sub-millisecond precision to benchmark algorithms and detect performance bottlenecks in JavaScript.
JavaScript Performance Optimization
Measure execution speed using performance.now() and optimize micro-tasks.
Key Takeaways: JavaScript Performance Optimization
Mastering JavaScript Performance Optimization helps you write clean and reliable JavaScript code. Follow standard conventions, test edge cases, and keep logic simple. Try running the code example below and complete the exercises to build confidence.
JavaScript Performance Optimization Code Example
JavaScriptconst t0 = performance.now();
let sum = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < 100000; i++) { sum += i; }
const t1 = performance.now();
console.log(`Execution took ${(t1 - t0).toFixed(2)} ms`);
Output
Execution took ~0.80 ms
