The document discusses reflow in web browsers. Reflow is the process by which a browser calculates the layout and geometry of elements on a page. Reflow is computationally expensive and a major cause of performance issues, especially on mobile devices. The document provides examples of things that can trigger reflow like resizing the window, DOM changes, or changing CSS properties. It also suggests ways to optimize pages to reduce the number of reflows, such as changing class names instead of inline styles.
