The scroll jank most Framer sites ship without noticing.
A site feels premium right up until you scroll on a mid-range phone and everything stutters. Almost always it is the same cause: too many scroll-linked effects firing at once.
Three fixes I apply on every build:
1. Cap concurrent scroll animations. One hero parallax plus one reveal per section is plenty. Stack five and the main thread chokes.
2. Animate only transform and opacity. Width, height, top, and box-shadow force a layout pass every frame. Swap them for scale and translate.
3. Test on a throttled device, not your M-series Mac. Chrome devtools, 4x CPU slowdown. If it holds there, it holds everywhere.
Smoothness reads as quality before a single word does.
