Particles started loading very slowly recently

[maxwowo]

Hi there! Thanks for all the work you've put into this library. I've recently noticed that the particles, which would've taken no more than 500ms to load before, suddenly started taking very long to load on my website.

Screen record:

Screen.Recording.2024-03-01.at.8.47.39.pm.mov

Site: https://www.maxwowo.com/

Repo: https://github.com/maxwowo/maxwowo

File that mounts the particles: https://github.com/maxwowo/maxwowo/blob/master/src/components/particles.tsx

This is the case across Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. My site should be pretty simple in structure and I also haven't made any changes to it recently, so just wondering what might be going on

Cheers

You need to move the initParticlesEngine in another place, that loads all the script necessary to start the animation and it could take a while since now uses dynamic imports to reduce the bundle size. You can call it in the index, or some place where you are loading other stuff as well. The readme itself uses it in the main App function.

I see, cheers for the explanation!
