When looking at a Chrome Dev Tools timeline I noticed that there was a "Hit Test" entry every time somethings happens:
Does anyone know what it is? I've done my googling, but am still at a loss.
Thanks!

A hit test is how a contact (mouse/touch) event is checked to see what it "hit" in the DOM.
https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/compositor-hit-testing describes some of this.

Ah, of course. I should have tried searching a bit longer :) Thanks! – JosiahDaniels Oct 21 '15 at 12:58

Why is it coming up BEFORE the touchStart in our trace @Kariudo though? – user3919920 Jul 22 '20 at 23:07
