ANIMATION

Animation on Scroll (AOS) creates an interactive experience for site visitors as they scroll down the page by animating the content and is one way to incorporate animation on your website.

Page Speed Impact

LOW

Scroll on Animation defers loading content until the user scrolls, which helps decrease page load times.

Hover effects, parallax, and other animations require additional code and can have a slight impact.

MEDIUM

Additional impact on desktop and mobile if images are not compressed.

An image or video background also impacts page performance.

Lottie files can increase the time it takes for the page to load.

TIPS

Convert images to WebP where possible to meet criteria to serve images in next-gen format.

To reduce image file sizes without losing quality, use TinyPNG to compress your images (JPG, PNG, WebP).

Vector images (SVG) also help keep file sizes to a minimum and can be used for graphics like logos and icons.
