Do CSS animations affect page speed?

    We launched our site on Monday, https://lynneredmond.com. The second day it was live, we were feverishly making improvements and corrections, many in the FSE editor. Midday the site got very slow. The host had to stop processes to get it running properly again. He said we’d made 40 more process requests than allowed.

    I’m trying to understand the source(s) of this. We have animations running throughout. We also have an Etsy store sync to our WooCommerce store. I have a question in to them about the syncing. My question here is, how much bandwidth do css animations use up and is there a way to manage that usage to avoid any problems like we just had?

    I just ran a page speed insight at 8:30 AM and it scored 97% on desktop, 81% on mobile. I need to understand better how much the page speed relates to the issues that occurred on Tuesday. The host techie also directed me to a plugin that would allow me to adjust the WordPress heartbeat. I have no idea what speed would be correct for what I’m running. Does Greenshift have any opinions on that?

  • I do not see an issue with your site using https://yellowlab.tools which is the only tool I use for testing.

    I can’t see any requests on your site. So, front is ok.

    FSE – yes, site editor in wordpress requests a lot of resources when it’s loading, but it’s not related to Greenshift. The only way to prevent this – using good wordpress optimising hostings and less dynamic blocks
