Lag and FPS
The play FAQ says WASM-GC is about 50 percent faster than JavaScript when the browser has WASM-GC and JSPI, and it tells you to enable VSync. The 1.12.2 download blurb says the JavaScript build is the slow one. u53 reduced WebGL context loss on Intel Chromebooks for the 1.8 line.

The roughly 50 percent WASM claim is the project FAQ's estimate, not this site's benchmark. ZIP size does not establish RAM use, GPU load, FPS or which build will run fastest on a particular machine.
- Pick WASM-GC for 1.8.8 or 1.12.2 if the button exists.
- Lower render distance. CONFIG.md warns that a huge distance can kill the stream on servers too.
- Close other WebGL tabs.
- If the game only stutters on one server, it may be the server tick, not your FPS.
Questions
Is low FPS a virus?
Low FPS alone neither proves nor rules out malware. Compare the same scene with lower render distance, shaders off and a compatible runtime; inspect unexpected downloads separately.
