<ul><li>The Document Object Model (DOM) is a critical part of web development, enabling dynamic content updates.</li><li>Inefficient DOM manipulation can lead to sluggish performance in complex applications.</li><li>Common performance pitfalls include multiple reflows from sequential updates, layout thrashing, inefficient event listeners, expensive CSS changes, and unoptimized animations.</li><li>Optimization techniques include batch updates with DocumentFragment, separating reads and writes, using event delegation for event listeners, using classes instead of inline styles for CSS changes, using GPU-accelerated properties for animations, utilizing virtual DOM for library/framework approach, debouncing/throttling high-frequency updates, and hiding elements during batch updates.</li></ul>
