Frequently Asked Questions
- How many shadow layers can I add?
- You can stack unlimited shadow layers, each with independent settings. This creates rich, realistic depth — modern design often uses 2-4 subtle layers for a soft elevation effect.
- Do box-shadows affect performance?
- A few simple shadows have negligible impact. Very large blur-radius shadows or many stacked shadows on animated elements can impact scroll performance on low-end devices.
