Understanding Glassmorphism in CSS
Glassmorphism is a design trend characterized by frosted-glass transparency effects achieved with CSS backdrop-filter: blur(). According to Wikipedia, the style became popular around 2020 with Apple's macOS Big Sur and Windows 11's Acrylic design. You can't deny its visual appeal when done right.

PageSpeed Considerations
While backdrop-filter is GPU-accelerated, excessive use can impact PageSpeed performance scores on low-end devices. We recommend limiting glass effects to 2-3 elements per viewport for optimal performance.
