Best way to check collision for many elements

Hi, i am curious what is best way to make collision. At this moment I make it this way: i have all elements with collision in an array and i iterate through it and calculate distance this way:

let dx = this._enemies[i].cords.x - this._players[y].cords.x;
let dy = this._enemies[i].cords.y - this._players[y].cords.y;
let distance = Math.sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy);
 
if(distance < 100) {
        //collision
}

This calculations make a sphere. We can do it this way to get a square or rectangle:

if(Math.abs(sprite1.x - sprite2.x) < 100 && Math.abs(sprite1.y - sprite2.y) < 10) {
    //collison
}

I think this is not the best method, because lets imagine we have 1000 things with collision. We have to calculate their distance 1000x1000 = 1000000 times per frame.

My second thought is a 2d array that pretends to be map. If object is on x=200 and y=200 we can assign it like this map[200][200] = 1. And then another object check is that place is free (there will be 0 then). Its good when the object is 1 pixel wide and high. For larger objects it could be harder to implement.

How are you doing this?
