Reflow
What is Reflow?
Reflow is a heavy computational task that slows down a web page's rendering speed and causes Jitter in Animation or scrolling. It is triggered by changes to element dimensions, content, or specific CSS properties.
Why Reflow Matters in Performance?
Minimizing Reflow is essential for creating a smooth, high-quality User Experience (UX).
- Jitter Elimination: It is a direct cause of stuttering, particularly during complex Interaction Design and Scroll Animation.
- Page Speed: Frequent reflows are detrimental to the time it takes for a page to become fully interactive.
- Technical Quality: Avoiding code patterns that cause excessive reflows is a hallmark of an expertly built, performance-first website.
Example from Flowtrix Projects
Flowtrix's expert Frontend Development minimizes instances of Reflow by utilizing efficient CSS properties and modern JavaScript techniques that handle visual changes without forcing a full recalculation of the page layout. This is crucial for delivering a high-performance Webflow site with smooth Interaction Design and zero Jitter.
