parallax scrolling

[Adamkek22]

How can I create a parallax scrolling effect for a website, including details on the best practices, key techniques, and tools or libraries to use? Additionally, can you explain how to set up the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to achieve this effect manually, and how to make it responsive and optimized for different devices? I'd also like to know if there are any common pitfalls to avoid, performance considerations, or accessibility tips to ensure the parallax scrolling enhances the user experience without negatively impacting the site's usability or speed.

Parallax scrolling is fun but tricky! How to do parallax scrolling? Use CSS for lightweight effects (background-position + transform with scroll), or libraries like Locomotive Scroll for smoother results. Make sure images are optimized, and test on phones—mobile GPUs can struggle with parallax. Avoid making it too flashy or disorienting, and ensure it doesn’t interfere with accessibility. Always keep performance in mind to keep the experience smooth.
