I have never heard the fans on my 2021 16" MBP until I opened this website. GPU usage spiked to 65% when opening the site in Firefox, enough to trigger the fan on this otherwise silent machine.

My iPhone, which has one of the most recent chips, is burning hot right now.
Glad to see this comment. Same happened to my iPhone and the website was laggy - was super confused at first..
Scrolling through the site (iPhone 14 Pro) was like playing a modern game at 15 frames per second.
All 12 cores on my machine pegged. Sites like this should be studied.
Its actually kind of amazing that a landing page can do that to a modern computer.
Makes me curious of what kind of beast hardware the developer has in order not to notice the lag. Kind of interesting that a simple landing page takes more resources than many modern games.
Just watched my iPhone 15 battery drop 2% scrolling for <60s
It's the useless canvas element.
