What forces layout/reflow. The comprehensive list.

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.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics
  • elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

HHVM Magento Server Setup

I've had the opertunity to try a variety of different server configurations but never really got around to trying HHVM with Magento until recently. I thought I would share a detailed walkthrough of configuring a single instance Magento server running Nginx + Fast CGI + HHVM / PHP-FPM + Redis + Percona. For the purpose of this blog post I'm assuming you are using Fedora, CentOS, or in my case RHEL 6.5.

Please note: I'm 100% open to suggestions. If you see something I did that needs to be done a different way, please let me know. I haven't included my Perconca my.conf file yet. I will shortly. Also I plan on trying this same test with HHVM 3.3 and PHP 7.

Install the EPEL, Webtatic, and REMI repos

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el6/latest.rpm
