Passive Event Listeners?

[Tecklenburg]

I audited my website using Google Chrome Developer tools.
And I got the recommendation to use passive event listeners.
Is that something that could / should be implemented by the theme?

If yes, is it on the roadmap for Pro Theme?

Hi Joachim,

Thanks for reaching out.

It will surely be implemented in the future since it’s not theme specific and it’s usually related to the libraries that handle the event, and jQuery is one of them. Please check this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39152877/consider-marking-event-handler-as-passive-to-make-the-page-more-responsive

Wordpress is dependent to jQuery, so it’s likely between the two.

Thanks!
