For a real A+++ website you need a loading bar.

Also holy shit I just clicked on the first website I saw on that site and I'm getting about 3fps scrolling it and my desktop is a Ryzen 9 3900x with 24 threads, 48gb ram and an rx5700xt. You don't even get the excuse of "It works on my machine" because this desktop is literally as good as it gets. I just tried a couple sites and not a single one could scroll smoothly, one of them was live applying css transforms to about 30 images as I scroll.

They're nice and smooth on my Ryzen 5 4500U/Vega 6 with 8GB of RAM. Of course the 5 seconds of artsy chaos spinner each of them has on load is still absurd. But it's fine after that. Could it be the browser? I loaded them in Firefox.

No idea, I tried them on both firefox and chrome and things were pretty laggy. Some worse than others. I don't have problems scrolling on other sites.
