General #
The Three.js background is slow on mobile. What can I do? #
You can disable the 3D particle background entirely: go to Appearance → Customize → Sinematik Theme → Theme Options and uncheck Enable 3D Particle Background.
Alternatively, to reduce the particle count instead, lower the CONFIG.particles.mobile value in assets/js/three-scene.js (e.g., from 300 to 150).
