Looks cool, but the site is very heavy! I have an RTX 3070 GPU, and GPU usage went shot to 70% when I opened this website on Firefox.

I use an older iPad and the page crashed so hard the Home button didn’t do anything for about 30 seconds. The iPad eventually turned off, because I had pressed the power button, to no avail, a couple of times.
Thank you! To be fair, there's plenty of room for optimisation. I have only tested on an M1 on Chrome. It's a tradeoff between looking cool and being performant

Can't disagree more. You can almost always have both, performance optimization is a thing.

True — good optimization can get you both. It used to be way less performance, I already tried to optimise (at least until my machine was running it fine), but it seems like there's still much more that can be done
Are these components only tested in chrome?
