In Chrome, I'm experiencing a white flash between page loads that is causing transitions to appear choppy. I've taken various steps to optimize the site, such as using image sprites, reducing image sizes, minifying CSS, ensuring correct CSS loading order, caching with .htaccess, and moving JS to the footer where possible. However, I still encounter this issue. Any suggestions on how to address it? The load time of the pages is quick, but the flash persists. Ideally, I would like to prevent the header from reloading and only have the body (which fades in and out with CSS) transition. Could the files be loading incorrectly in Chrome, causing the flash? What other optimizations should I consider?
