Create cool UI animations with CSS

Page speed and performance is an important aspect of any application or website. If you are using animation as part of your project, it can be a good place to start when trying to optimise performance. Animating too much or too many properties will cause animations to stutter.

Firstly you can check that you're not using too many animations all at once on the page: as well as being bad for performance, it is also bad for your users' experience. Multiple animations on different parts of the page will be fighting for their attention as well as potentially causing performance issues. Being aware of the number of animations will help to address both of these potential issues.
