How to throttle resize event in JavaScript
Friday, November 7, 2025
Throttling resize events prevents performance degradation during window resizing by limiting function execution frequency to manageable intervals. With over 25 years of experience in software development and as the creator of CoreUI, I’ve implemented resize event optimization in responsive layouts and adaptive components. From my expertise, the most practical approach is using throttling to execute resize handlers at regular intervals rather than on every resize event. This technique maintains UI responsiveness while preventing excessive recalculations during continuous resizing.
