Web UI is very slow on older devices

As you can see in the video, the web UI is very slow to respond on an older tablet, making it difficult to use. This is an Acer B3-A40 running Android 7 and Chrome 119.

I'm running your latest code. This started a couple weeks ago after you had made some heavy updates to the web UI. There seems to be a lot running in the background. Could there be an option to disable some of that?

I tried to disable a few things, but I couldn't figure out exactly what is causing it.

I didn't have the "Advanced mode" showing in the video, but the refresh interval was set at 10 seconds.

I assume it's because of blur effects, which newer devices render using hardware acceleration. I use my 2015' tablet as a "minimum requirement" reference and it's running smooth there, so I can't reproduce this issue on my side.
I will try to optimise it, or add an option to enable "lite" mode or something similar.

Ah, ok. I just looked that up and that makes sense.

That's definitely it. I did a global search and replace to replace every css blur effect with "none" and it's far better. There are a couple jitters here and there, but the scrolling is smooth and so is moving the sliders.
