If you are using sxhkd with Bspwm try starting it with the -f command like
sxhkd -f 100
This helped my floating window resize and moving much smoother.

Thank you, chickenPie4tea. I will try your suggestion tomorrow and give you feedback. But it's quite strange, everything worked smoothly previously.

Hi, @chickenPie4tea. I tried to make sxhkd -f 100, it still quite slow and lagging.

If it had no effect then forget it, but if it helped a bit try changing the number to say
sxhkd -f 50
also maybe you can ask advice in the bspwm thread
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=149444
there is also an irc channel
#bspwm on irc.freenode.net

I tried bspwm-git and sxhkd-git version. They works correctly now. Thank you for your help.

Glad to hear it, and if it doesn't work out I found Herbstluftwm to be close to Bspwm
