These css effects are pretty cool. But front-enders beware, they can be supersuper slow when trying to animate or even scroll (especially on mobile). If you want to use blurred images let a server do the burring for you.

Or blur with canvas, so you only do the client-side operation once?

Yea, they seem to be too expensive to use for full page effects, but I haven't found them to impact performance if used with parsimony on a few select elements with no children.
