39-44:⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy liftThe static path still renders all beams, contradicting the optimization goal.
The PR objectives claim to remove beams "far outside the visible screen area" to reduce DOM rendering and GPU work. However, the static
pathelement (lines 39-44) contains the complete original path data with approximately 60 beam paths (fromM-380toM19), while thepathsarray was reduced to only 13 beams (lines 9-23).This means:
- All beams remain in the DOM
- The browser must still parse and render all ~60 beam paths in the static layer
- Only the animated gradient overlays were reduced (from ~60 to 13, ~78% reduction)
- GPU work for rendering the base beams themselves is unchanged
The current optimization only reduces animated gradient animation overhead, not the beam rendering overhead that represents the majority of the performance cost. Clarify whether the static path should also be updated to match the optimization goal, or document this as an intentional two-layer design where the static base provides continuous visual coverage while animations are reduced to center beams.

🧹 Nitpick comments (1)
components/ui/background-beams.tsx (1)
8-8: ⚡ Quick winThe comment is misleading about beam positions.
The comment states "Keep only center/near-screen beams", but examining the coordinates:
- Paths start at x: -324 to -240, y: -253 to -349 (top-left, outside the viewBox)
- The viewBox is
"0 0 696 316", so these starting points are outside the visible area- These beams traverse through the viewport rather than originating near the center
A more accurate comment would be: "Keep subset of beams that traverse the viewport" or "Reduce animated beam count for performance".

@prathiusharun Once can you recheck |
what changed
Reduced the number of SVG beam paths in BackgroundBeams by removing beams that are far outside the visible screen area.
Kept only the beams closer to the visible screen region.
why it changed
Rendering and animating many off-screen beams caused unnecessary DOM rendering and GPU work.
Keeping only nearby beams preserves the visual effect while reducing rendering overhead and improving performance.
