The article argues that websites overloaded with animations and effects can become difficult to scroll and consume excessive CPU resources, even on high-end hardware.

## Source excerpt

People need to realize that is not enough to have a nice website with a ton of animations and effects. There is no point having such a website if I can't scroll it, while CPU and coolers go crazy. And I use latest MacBook with maxed hardware. Can't imagine trying to use those websites on the old machine (or IE8-9). Get your performance together.
