What commenters say

  • Using setInterval for animation can cause stuttering and is not the best approach for smooth animations.
  • Animating CSS position can trigger reflow and cause performance issues, whereas using translate3d or other CSS transforms can be more efficient.
  • CSS animations are a better choice than JavaScript-based animations for simple animations like the bouncing logo.
  • The choice of animation method does not significantly impact smoothness once a certain frame rate is achieved, but other factors like subpixel animation can affect the overall quality.
  • Absolutely positioned elements do not trigger reflow, making them a better choice for animations.
  • Executing JavaScript every frame can be heavy and may cause stuttering, especially if the main thread is blocked.
  • Using requestAnimationFrame or CSS transitions can help achieve smoother animations and improve performance.
  • Alternative approaches, such as using the Canvas API or writing the animation as a CSS animation, can also be effective for creating smooth animations.
