CSS animation longer than 5 seconds Accessibility Checkpoint

Description

Don’t use CSS animations that run for more than 5 seconds without giving the user a way to turn them off.

Reduce the duration of the animation to less than 5 seconds (works on all devices) or use the @media (prefers-reduced-motion) media query to turn them off (works in Chrome, Firefox and Safari).
