Fix Safari CPU on homepage
Fixes https://github.com/marko-js/website/issues/101
The .demo-page-loading-linked animations may have to be pure CSS animation, since Safari is still grumpy about it even if we're just toggling opacity: 0.
Hm… or will-change: opacity. That might help, but pure-CSS would be more efficient than the requestAnimationFrame layer we have right now. That JS was first written for a scroll-linked effect… But now that we're animating a simple loop, full CSS may be the best choice.
Trying out using a gradient for the image loading placeholder instead of filter:
Before (filter) |
After (stacked radial-gradients) |
|---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
I also grabbed a clip of it in motion, since it’s only visible for a split second anyway:

Is that the filter or the gradient? I don’t remember! The filename might be wrong!
What I currently have for the hydration animation:

Not as good as the existing one, but I’m not sure how to get that particular animation while hardware-accelerating it.
