Description
We should do a performance audit on axe.commons.aria.getRole
and see if we should memoize it. It's used heavily throughout the code and there are potential places where it can be called on the same element multiple times (and hundreds of times in some cases).
For example, in #3160 we need to look at the role of the parent table
element of every row. On a site like https://web.archive.org/web/20190613132353/https://giveawaylisting.com/, that's hundreds to thousands of times the getRole
function is called on the same element.
