The DOM is single-threaded, but modern web apps demand parallelism. This article breaks down practical multithreaded rendering strategies—Web Workers, SharedArrayBuffer, Offscreen Canvas, server-side DOM creation, and parallel DOM approaches—highlighting where each works, where it fails, and how frontend engineers can combine them to push performance beyond main-thread limits.
