If you are experiencing choppiness with scroll interactions in Safari on your Webflow website, there are a few steps you can take to improve the smoothness of the scrolling experience. By following these suggestions, you can enhance the user experience and optimize your website for performance:

Optimize images: Large or uncompressed images can significantly impact the performance of your site. Make sure to resize and compress all images before uploading them to your Webflow site. You can use software tools like Photoshop or online services like TinyPNG to reduce image file sizes without sacrificing image quality.
Reduce the number of interactions: Excessive use of scroll interactions can also lead to choppiness and poor performance. Limit the number of scroll interactions on a page, and ensure that each interaction is necessary and adds value to the overall user experience.
Simplify animations and transitions: If you have complex animations or transitions, try simplifying them to improve performance. Opt for a few smooth and well-executed animations rather than multiple choppy ones. You can use the Webflow Interactions panel to fine-tune animations and transitions.
Decrease the scroll-triggered elements: A larger number of elements that are triggered by scroll interactions can cause choppiness. Minimize the amount of content that animates or changes upon scrolling, and ensure that only essential elements are being triggered.
Test and optimize your website on Safari: Regularly test your website on the Safari browser to identify any specific issues related to the scrolling experience. Monitor the performance using browser developer tools and make necessary adjustments based on your findings.
Consider browser-specific optimization: If the choppiness persists even after following the steps above, you can create browser-specific optimizations using custom code. This can involve adjusting the CSS and JavaScript for Safari to better handle the scroll interactions on your Webflow site.

By implementing these strategies, you can enhance the performance and smoothness of the scroll interactions on your Webflow website, specifically for users accessing your site through the Safari browser.
