Expand the range selector and set the keyframes for the animation from "Start" to "End." This will allow you to control the amount and speed of the animations from the beginning to the end. Set the tabs at a speed that you believe would be aesthetically appealing to a general audience. These preferences can be tailored to your individual webpage and should reflect the overall theme of the site.
