Hi Orphea! Guilty as charged we kinda rushed this landing page for our TechCrunch announcement and haven't been able to come back to optimize it. I haven't heard of stuttering before now, but maybe something quirky is happening with your combination of browser/OS/CPU. If you could let us know which browser and OS you're on, we'd be very grateful! Thanks in advance!

Mac mini M2 user with safari here: The website causes 10-20% CPU load doing absolutely nothing. The spotlight effect also doesn't seem to work as intended. As long as the mouse is moving, the spotlight just barely moves in its direction. Then, when the mouse stays still, it suddenly jumps towards it. It makes the website seem a lot more laggy than it probably would be.

On chrome, the spotlight effect looks better, but we are up to 50% CPU usage.

This is most likely the culprit! Will take care of it. Thanks for the detailed feedback <3
Oops, sorry, I was going to tell that! Windows 10 / Edge 123
Thank you! We need to start testing way more on Windows. Will do!
