WordPress Troubleshooter. How to fix the issue with smoothscrolling in Chrome

The actual source of that problem is the smooth scrolling feature, which is enabled by default, it is reducing scrolling responsiveness significantly. In order to get it work again, you need to disable Smooth Scrolling function. The general problem is that smooth-scroll script is no longer supported by newer versions of browsers. The solution depends on the version of the template you use:

Variant 1. CherryFramework 3 templates with the usual Cherry Slider and Cherry Parallax plugin.

Solution: Navigate to wp-content/plugins and wp-content/themes/themeXXX/includes/plugins folders on your server and replace the current cherry-parallax plugin with the newest version, which you can download here.
