My understanding is that's CSS reflows what makes DOM operations expensive This is why CSS contain property is such a big performance revolution.

There is also if I remember well, a special kind of Dom that is only for logic, therefore being unaffected to reflows. I don't remember how it's called.

I believe you are speaking of a fragment. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DocumentFra...

You're probably thinking of CSS position absolute or fixed, which are "outside the flow" and can be used (i.e., for animation) to minimize reflow.
