406 introduces a javascript header animation that runs on the landing page. As of that PR it runs indiscriminately. There's some concern about the load that might put on a computer or device, especially on things like phones with limited battery life, but I don't really know enough about it.
Anecdotally, running at 60 FPS the animation got my computer fan going on a Macbook Pro. 30 FPS seems okay, but I don't have an older or lower-end machine to try it out on for comparison.
This ticket is mostly just to bookmark that we may want to do some research on how much extra load the animation carries, whether there are lighter-weight animation techniques or strategies to selectively run it, etc.
