🎯 Performance Tips

/* 1. Use transform and opacity for smooth animations */
/* Good - GPU accelerated */
.element {
    transition: transform 0.3s, opacity 0.3s;
}

.element:hover {
    transform: translateY(-10px);
    opacity: 0.9;
}

/* Avoid - triggers layout recalculation */
.element {
    transition: top 0.3s, margin 0.3s;
}

/* 2. Use will-change for complex animations */
.animated-element {
    will-change: transform, opacity;
}

/* Remove after animation */
.animated-element.done {
    will-change: auto;
}

/* 3. Reduce animation complexity on mobile */
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
    * {
        animation-duration: 0.01ms !important;
        animation-iteration-count: 1 !important;
        transition-duration: 0.01ms !important;
    }
}

/* 4. Use requestAnimationFrame for JS animations */
/* JavaScript */
function animate() {
    element.style.transform = `translateX(${x}px)`;
    requestAnimationFrame(animate);
}

/* 5. Debounce scroll animations */
let ticking = false;

window.addEventListener('scroll', () => {
    if (!ticking) {
        window.requestAnimationFrame(() => {
            doAnimation();
            ticking = false;
        });
        ticking = true;
    }
});

/* 6. Use transform3d for better performance */
/* Forces GPU acceleration */
.element {
    transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}

/* 7. Limit the number of animated elements */
/* Animate container, not all children */

/* 8. Use CSS containment */
.animated-container {
    contain: layout style paint;
}

🎯 Key Takeaways

Performance: Use transform and opacity for smooth animations
Loading states: Spinners, skeletons, progress indicators
Micro-interactions: Button effects, hover states, transitions
Entrance animations: Fade, slide, scale, rotate, bounce
Text effects: Typing, gradients, glitch, neon glow
will-change: Hint browser about upcoming changes
Accessibility: Respect prefers-reduced-motion
GPU acceleration: translate3d, transform3d for better performance
