  < ion-list>
    < ion-item *ngFor="let Company of companies" 
              (click)="detailsPage(Company.code);" tappable>
      {{Company.name}}
    < /ion-item>
  < /ion-list>

Solution
Add tapabble attribute if you’re using click event on elements other than button or an anchor tag. In our example we are using click event on ion-item element, so adding tapabble attribute would speed up the firing of click event by 300 milliseconds.

In today’s performance centric application development 300 milliseconds delay shouldn’t be neglected. Hope this small tip helps in improving the usability of your mobile application.
