SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

GSAP animations can suffer from jank and layout thrash when not optimized; this skill provides guidance to keep motion smooth by encouraging transform-based properties, will-change usage, and batching strategies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prefer transforms (x, y, scale, rotation) and opacity to keep work on the compositor and avoid layout thrash.
  • Batch reads and writes to reduce layout thrashing; reuse timelines and limit simultaneous tweens.
  • Apply ScrollTrigger performance techniques and cleanup routines to maintain long-term smoothness.

Quick Start

Optimize a GSAP animation for 60fps by prioritizing transform/opacity changes and avoiding layout thrash.

Frequently Asked Questions about gsap-performance

FAQPage Schema
How do I optimize GSAP animations to maintain smooth 60fps?

Prevent GSAP layout thrashing by batching DOM reads and writes together. This strategy minimizes synchronous recalculations and limits the number of simultaneous tweens to maintain smooth performance.

How do I improve ScrollTrigger performance for long web pages?

Improve ScrollTrigger performance by applying specific optimization techniques and utilizing cleanup routines. This ensures animations are properly managed and maintains long-term smoothness during complex timeline scenarios.

When should I use will-change for web animation performance?

Use will-change to advise the browser of upcoming animated properties, which helps optimize rendering. It is most effective when applied during complex web UI transitions and timelines to sustain 60fps performance.

Why does my web UI animation suffer from jank during transitions?

Web UI animation jank occurs when unoptimized GSAP properties trigger layout recalculations. Avoid animating layout-affecting properties and instead prefer transforms and opacity to keep motion smooth.
