Well, given that jQuery is just a bunch of JavaScript designed to make the coder’s life easier while totally ignoring the basic fundamentals of “less is more”, “KISS” and other similar principles, I’d say raw JavaScript is a hell of a lot faster than jQuery in terms of page loading times.
That said, it is of course entirely possible to write plain JavaScript that kills the browser.
Such as
while(some condition that is accidentally always true)(I am guilty of this one)So just “not using jQuery” won’t guarantee that your site works faster than one that uses jQuery. You still need to optimise the code you write, regardless of the tools you use.
