How to Stop Jerky Motion on Webpages
person Patrick Bushe · calendar_today April 10, 2026
If a webpage features heavy parallax images in the background, scrolling a standard mouse wheel causes the images to stagger and lag. To functionally stop jerky motion on webpages, you must override the native event dispatcher. Employing the Smooth Scrolling extension replaces the browser's rudimentary scroll protocol with a highly optimized animation loop requested via requestAnimationFrame. This perfectly syncs the scroll speed with the hardware refresh rate of your monitor, delivering tearing-free motion.
