The scroll on this site is unusable - it kept scrolling too far or not enough. The performance is awful too (low framerate on an i7-4790K + NVidia 980 Ti, which should be able to handle some simple scrolling)

Literally unusable in the case of MS Edge on a tablet - it appears to completely ignore touch input.

Hi there - I'm a co-author of the post and put the site together. I'm sorry to hear that the scroll is acting up. I'd like to fix that. Can you (or anyone else seeing this issue) tell me if you see the same behavior on the other posts on the blog or just this one? Thanks. EDIT: I disabled the 'smooth scrolling' option in my wordpress theme settings to try to fix this. Please let me know if that worked or if you're still seeing the issue. Thanks.

  I had the terrible scroll when I first loaded the page 1-2 hours ago but can't reproduce it now on any of your posts including this one. Chrome 45.0.2454.85 64-bit linux.

  Almost unusable once the jumping can of beans was in view. On Firefox latest stable, windows 8.1. Scrolling was happening in bursts and the entire browser UI was frozen. Once I managed to scroll past it, it worked fine.

    ok, I think I see the problem. I swapped out that cocktail shaker animation with an animated gif of the same. Hopefully it should work smoothly now. Thanks for your help!

  btw... whatever plugin that was, it was also disabling page up/page down from working

  It's definitely much better now, and I'm on a lower spec machine this morning

It also sent the cpu usage for chrome on my macbook skyrocketing from 5% to 106%. Pretty impressive. I ended up reading it in readability instead.[0] [0]: https://www.readability.com/articles/v5jqgcjf https://www.readability.com/articles/v5jqgcjf

    Oh whoops you're right. Looks like it needs the extension installed.
