While there are a great many ways that JavaScript can be used to improve web pages and user-interactivity, there are also little things that JavaScript can’t do. Here we will learn about some limitations of JavaScript:

The most significant limitation of JavaScript is that it does not have a single parent body to carry out implementation.
JavaScript cannot protect your page source or images. This means that images on your web page can simply be downloaded to the device of a user viewing the web page.
JavaScript does not have any multiprocessor capabilities. Therefore, it has no control over memory.
Finally, JavaScript cannot access web pages hosted on a different domain. Even though a user can simultaneously view web pages from different domains, the JavaScript running on a domain web page will be unable to access any data on another domain’s web page.
