Restarting the browser does not help.

It may surprise you to learn that your browser does not take the complexity of the game you're playing into account when it decides how quickly to render the page.
For MacOS, the biggest factor in slowdown is drop shadows, and it doesn't matter which browser you're using, because MacOS makes them all use Safari's rendering engine under the hood. Any other browser on any other OS deals with them fine, but MacOS grinds to a halt with just a few drop shadows, and with a few dozen, your browser hard-crashes.
I remove most drop shadows for Safari as a standard practice. For Spots, I had left in drop shadows on the trick tiles, but I suppose even that is too much. I've removed them for MacOS users.

Thanks, fix confirmed.
FYI, only iOS uses Safari's WebKit engine for all browsers, on macOS each browser can use their own engine, so Chrome and Firefox would have different results.
