These are exactly the same... but different... but still the same.
Framer is excellent for porting an already existing site, that has slow low speeds, or is simply hard to edit. It makes what works, work better, take this rebuild of
@ExpectedParrot homepage for example.
I changed nothing, all i did was a 1 to 1 rebuild and here are the speed differences:
Desktop:
FCP 4.7s -> 0.5s
LCP 6.6s -> 1s
Speed index 6.1s -> 1.5s
Mobile:
FCP 20.6s -> 2.3s
LCP 24.6s -> 2.5s
Speed index 20.6s -> 3.3s
Such big jumps in performance are noticeable for any business, and thats why
The faster version of my scroll walkthrough looked worse.
For Lumbre, a Framer template for small hotels, I built a virtual tour: real photos of one place turned into short AI clips, played frame by frame as you scroll and pausing at each stop.
To make the preview loop feel livelier, I tried it at 2.6× speed. It read as rushed straight away. Back to the original pace: slow, calm, unhurried, which is the whole point for a hotel that sells rest.
Second lesson: when a clip glitched, I fixed it with an edited keyframe instead of re-rolling the generation. Cheaper, and you stay in control of the shot.
