Browser Source Causes Preview to Stutter

I've run into a very strange issue with OBS. For the last few months or so, I've had an issue with the entire preview (USB3HDCAP capture, webcam, and everything else) stuttering randomly while live streaming. I could never figure out what was causing it until now. It appears that it's caused by a browser source. Specifically Streamlabs alerts. If I hide it, the stuttering immediately stops. It's strange because I have other browser sources for Streamlabs events, viewer count, and media share but none of those have the issue. Anyone else have this issue? I'm not sure if this is specific to me or some sort of bug.

I'm on Windows 11 with the latest version of OBS.
 
That's interesting, maybe load up the overlay page in just a regular browser and check your system vitals while its running, it sounds like something in your overlay could be using loads of resources.
 
I don't think it's system-resource related as I've checked the task manager when it does it and nothing spikes. I think I may have solved the issue though. I deleted the browser source and re-made it, and now the issue seems to be solved. I let it run for about an hour and didn't see any stuttering. I'll update after I've tested for a longer period to say if it's definitely solved or not.
 
Update: The issue seems to be solved after deleting and re-making the browser source. No more random stuttering. If anyone else has a similar issue, check the browser sources!
