I spent the last week going deep on using CSS animations in Codex themes, and a few things caught me off guard. Most guides skip the boring parts, which is exactly where the real problems show up later.
One issue that nobody warns you about is respecting the reduced motion setting so you do not make people sick. People treat it as a checkbox, then wonder why nothing holds together. Another that bit me was keeping animations on transform and opacity only. It sounds minor until a busy week exposes it. The part I underestimated the most was testing on a cheap phone instead of your dev machine.
My fix was boring on purpose. I opened the settings I already had and fixed the smallest thing first, then built one habit around it. Before adding anything else I checked whether readers actually noticed a difference.
For codex-skin-studio.shop this is not optional housekeeping. An hour spent now beats a much larger cleanup six months later.
