Blinking Highlight Animation Text CSS

If you cut on site-wide animation, say Fade, any text highlights that animate start to load, then the section fades in and triggers the text animation to reload causing a blinking effect.

Anyone know any code to delay text highlight animations?

See video. Blink is a split second, but annoying. It is more noticeable in Chrome than Firefox for some reason.

Squarespace says only solution is to cut off sitewide animation.

Thanks.
