Dang. I have an MBP with an i7 and 16GB of RAM, and a landing page lags?! Hells no.

Also, I think it ate 1% of my battery in the blink of an eye. No thanks.

Update: 8MB for a landing page. Wait, waaattt?

I'll give you the first animation is somewhat cool, but a lot of visitors will definitely be turned off by the slow and sluggish experience, and I don't think it's the impression I want from a company (apparently) banking on Virtual Reality. I like my reality fairly instantaneous, thank you, so the goal would be to have my VR to behave in kind.

That's strange. I'm on a 4 year old Dell with integrated graphics and unimpressive specs and it runs perfectly smooth.
Probably a 'safari' thing.

I have an i3 with unimpressive specs and it runs perfectly smooth on chrome.

I'm in Chrome65. I didn't say anything about using Safari.

In any case, even w/o the lag, the page is still way too slow to load and quite heavy. Not really the best approach for conversion.
