If you are experiencing a "jerking" or choppy scroll when moving between sections in Webflow, even after removing interactions, there are a few possible solutions to fix this issue:

Check for conflicting interactions: Even if you have removed interactions from your sections, there could still be conflicting interactions on other elements within your project. To ensure a smooth scroll transition, make sure to check if any other elements, such as buttons or links, are causing conflicts. Adjust or remove any conflicting interactions to see if that resolves the jerking scroll issue.
Optimize images: Large image files can slow down the scrolling experience, causing it to appear jerky. Use tools such as TinyPNG or ImageOptim to compress your images without compromising the quality. By reducing the file size of your images, you can significantly improve the scrolling performance.
Reduce unnecessary elements: Having too many elements on a page can overload the browser and lead to a choppy scroll. Analyze your design and see if there are any excessive elements that can be removed without affecting the overall layout. Simplifying the content can enhance the scroll smoothness.
Disable specific browser plugins: Some browser plugins or extensions can interfere with the smooth scrolling experience on certain websites. To rule out this possibility, try disabling all browser extensions or using an incognito or private browsing mode to see if the jerkiness persists. If the issue is resolved, you can selectively enable browser extensions to find the conflicting ones.
Check for custom code conflicts: If you have added custom code snippets to your Webflow project, they could be causing conflicts and impacting the scroll performance. Review and test each custom code component to identify any potential issues. Remove or modify the code as necessary to eliminate any conflicts.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and fix the scrolling jerkiness issue in Webflow, even after removing interactions. Remember to preview your changes and test the scrolling experience across different devices and browsers to ensure a smooth and consistent user experience.
