Performance Guide

Here are the main levers to avoid FPS drops.

1) Particle count

particles: {
  number: {
    value: 50,
    density: {
      enable: true,
      area: 900
    }
  }
}

Fewer particles = fewer draw calls and fewer collisions.

2) Movement and links

• Reduce move.speed when you do not need an energetic effect.
• Limit links.distance and links.opacity.
• Avoid heavy combinations (for example links + collisions + advanced effects) in fullscreen.

3) Interactivity

• Keep only a few active modes.
• On mobile, consider disabling hover mode.

4) Retina and resize

detectRetina: false;

Useful in performance-first contexts or on weaker devices.

5) Manual lifecycle control

For expensive sections, use explicit controls:

• start on user click
• stop/pause when the section is not visible
• destroy on page/component teardown
