• javascript
• php
• html
• css
• google-chrome

• Simple PHP code is being used here. Nothing fancy. The articles are being loaded from a MySQL database. – Susan Commented May 26, 2014 at 8:39
• Do you have any javascript/jquery listeners for page scroll/any movement? – Kanishk Dudeja Commented May 26, 2014 at 8:43
• No, no javascript/jquery listeners are being used for page scrolling or any sort of movement. – Susan Commented May 26, 2014 at 8:44

I would say that one cause is the massive image in the center. (the guy with the google glass) - this image is more than 5000px X 3400px+ but scaled down to around 500px. Which is together with other large images on the page. http://airfuz./Images/2014/05/man-wearing-google-glass.jpg

when i remove that image, it scrolls much smoother...

Consider using a php thumbnailing script (like timthumb or phpthumb) to actually serve images close to the size they will be shown. This will also benefit the load times of the site.

Your website has too large assets that simultaneously loads. Maybe that is the cause of the problem. Here's why I've concluded with this answer:

• When the website's assets are loading, the scrolling lags. (Tested with Chrome & Firefox)
• After the website has fully loaded, my Google Chrome shows less lag. While on the other hand, Firefox showed me no difference at all.

You could shrink down some assets, I think that will, somehow, lessen the lag.

And I noticed something about your website, you are using the HTML5 Doctype. However you are also using HTML4 Mark-up Tags (I saw the <center> tag). Well, this might not affect the problem but this will affect HTML5 Validity. =)

Well, hope I helped somehow.
