I can't say anything about the content of this blog. It was horribly laggy to scroll on mobile device. And by horribly laggy, I mean like aunt's 1986 vacation slide show on a projector while having dry cookies and tasteless off brand earl grey.

I'm sorry if it sounds rude but I had to bring this on out in the open. What even runs under the hood on that blog..

Even if the effect didn't lag, there's almost no added benefit to it. The title is cut off, and the description is even worse.

If the author wanted to, they could have done something like this with no scripts, minimum effort, and probably zero lag.

(If OP's website chugged for you, I'm curious whether this demo is seamlessly smooth. It is for me.)

Strangely enough, for me both blog post an demo didn't lag, but the transparent sticky title did look bad
