Translate3d

Hardware acceleration

Transitioning certain properties, such as left and margin causes the browser to recalculating styles every frame. This is fairly expensive, and can lead to unnecessary re-paints, especially if you have a lot of elements on the screen. This is especially noticeable in less powerful devices, such as mobiles.

This solution is to offload the rendering to the GPU using CSS transformations. In simple terms, this turns the element into an image during the transition, avoiding any style recalculations which greatly increases performance. A simple way of forcing the browser to hardware render an element is to set the transformation’s z axis, which you can do with translate3d:

transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
