Keep DOM access via JavaScript to a minimum

(Development)
#32

Accessing the DOM (Document Object Model) via JavaScript is a heavy process that uses a lot of processor power (CPU). Minimize this type of access as much as possible.

Libraries such as ‘Shadow DOM’ can also be used to optimize the tree though a batch system.

This best practice should only be applied if it is coherent with your project's specifications.
