To fix GSAP animation jank and maintain 60fps on lower-end devices, optimize animations by using transform and opacity instead of layout properties to reduce layout thrashing and painting costs.

GSAP animations cause layout thrashing and frame drops when animating layout properties instead of transforms. Optimizing CSS properties and minimizing reflow and repaint operations restores smooth 60fps transitions.

The best way to optimize CSS properties for GSAP animations is batching CSS updates and applying the will-change property appropriately to minimize reflow and repaint costs during dynamic transitions.

Yes, you can use GSAP animations on devices with limited processing power by applying optimization strategies that rely on transform and opacity to ensure smooth 60fps performance without frame drops.

Use transform and opacity instead of layout properties in GSAP when you need smooth 60fps transitions, as they avoid triggering expensive reflow and repaint cycles that cause animation jank.
