Quick Answer
Optimize animations: use CSS transitions instead of jQuery .animate() where possible (GPU-accelerated). For jQuery animations, reduce the number of simultaneously animating elements, use .stop() to prevent queue buildup, avoid animating layout-triggering properties (width, height, margin) - prefer opacity and transform. Use requestAnimationFrame via Velocity.js for better performance than jQuery animations.
Answer
Animate properties like opacity and transform for better performance. Avoid layout-triggering properties like width/height. Batch animations and use requestAnimationFrame for heavy effects.
