What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Element

Box metrics

• elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent
• elem.clientLeft, elem.clientTop, elem.clientWidth, elem.clientHeight
• elem.getClientRects(), elem.getBoundingClientRect()

What are we trying to observe? Raw object data.

// Objects
var obj = { id: 2 };
obj.id = 3; // obj == { id: 3 }
 
// Arrays
var arr = ['foo', 'bar'];
arr.splice(1, 1, 'baz'); // arr == ['foo', 'baz'];
