Does this website run at 10fps for anyone else? I'm on a mac M4 w/ safari. Really doesn't help the author's point.
A quick profile on Safari shows some layout recalc happening regularly, but surely that shouldn't cause this bad of perf...
The last time I found something like this, it was because of 100's of box-shadows.
Edit: Sure enough, this cures Safari:
*, *::before, *::after { box-shadow: none !important; background: none !important }
It's a combination of box-shadows and gradients.Edit 2: Ah, they're using shadow DOM for the img reflection, so we can't affect it. Good gravy is the shadow DOM stuff overwrought, it's 87 elements all told, just for one img.
