CanvaMotion adds a new “Animated Background” capability to any Elementor Container or legacy Section element. It renders lightweight, GPU-friendly particle animations using the HTML5 Canvas 2D API and plain JavaScript — no external libraries, no iframes, no coding required.
Three animation types
<ul>
<li>Neural Network — Floating nodes connected by a glowing line web. Mouse repels nodes away from the cursor.</li>
<li>Particle Field — Glowing particles that drift and pulse in brightness. Mouse attracts particles magnetically toward the cursor.</li>
<li>Constellation — Sparse twinkling stars joined by dashed lines. Mouse exerts gentle gravity pulling nearby stars closer.</li>
</ul>
What you can control per container
<ul>
<li>Enable / disable animation with a single toggle</li>
<li>Choose animation type from a dropdown</li>
<li>Set dot colour, line colour, and optional canvas background colour</li>
<li>Adjust dot count (10–200), dot size (1–10 px), speed (0.1–5×), and mouse influence radius (50–400 px)</li>
<li>Live preview inside the Elementor editor — no page reload required</li>
</ul>
Performance
<ul>
<li>Animations pause automatically when scrolled out of the viewport (IntersectionObserver)</li>
<li>Canvas resizes automatically with the container (ResizeObserver)</li>
<li>JavaScript loads in the footer — zero render-blocking</li>
<li>No external HTTP requests at runtime</li>
<li>Canvas uses <code>pointer-events: none</code> — all content inside the container stays fully clickable</li>
</ul>
Compatibility
<ul>
<li>Works with modern Elementor Containers and legacy Section elements</li>
<li>Requires Elementor (free) — no Elementor Pro needed</li>
</ul>

CanvaMotion for Elementor

Animated canvas backgrounds for Elementor — Neural Network, Particle Field, and Constellation — with live preview and interactive mouse tracking.

WPXERO

Animation Kit lets you add a moving WebGL background to any WordPress page — a particle field, an aurora wash, a sweeping radar pulse — from a single admin screen. No theme editing, no shortcodes, no CSS. Pick an effect, tune the colors and motion, save, and your visitors see a smooth canvas layer behind your content.
The plugin is builder-agnostic: it renders at the document level, so it cooperates with classic themes, block themes, Elementor, Bricks, WPBakery, and Gutenberg page builds without needing a per-builder integration.
<h3>How it works</h3>
You get a dedicated Background Animation screen inside the WP admin. From there:
<ol>
<li>Pick one of 13 free effects (full list below).</li>
<li>Adjust the live controls — colors, speed, density, opacity, z-index, position.</li>
<li>Toggle the background on. The canvas appears site-wide.</li>
</ol>
The free tier targets the whole website (single configuration). Pro adds multiple stacked configurations and per-page placement rules.
<h3>Effects included in the free version</h3>
<ul>
<li>Antigravity — Magnetic particle field that reacts to pointer movement. Good for tech, SaaS, and sci-fi-style hero sections.</li>
<li>Aurora — Flowing color washes. Suits portfolios, night-mode brands, and creative agencies.</li>
<li>Color Bends — Multi-stop color gradient with noise warp and slow rotation. Works as a brand backdrop.</li>
<li>Grid Scan — Animated grid with a sweep line. Tech, cyber, and dashboard aesthetics.</li>
<li>Line Waves — Concentric line waves with color cycling. Graphic, poster-like.</li>
<li>Liquid Ether — Fluid simulation that ripples and bends with cursor movement. Most “wow” of the set.</li>
<li>Particles — Drifting particle systems with configurable count, color, and spread.</li>
<li>Pixel Blast — Animated pixel patterns (square, circle, triangle) with optional click-ripples. Retro and game-style.</li>
<li>Plasma — Classic plasma shader with direction, scale, and color. Soft demoscene feel.</li>
<li>Prism — Rotating 3D prism with bloom. Crystalline, futuristic.</li>
<li>Radar — Sweep-style radar visualization with ring and spoke controls.</li>
<li>Soft Aurora — Lower-intensity aurora with two-color gradient. Easier on small-screen viewers.</li>
<li>Light Pillar — Vertical light column with adjustable glow, width, height, and rotation. Good for landing-page focal points.</li>
</ul>
Each effect has its own controls; you only ship the code for the effect you enable (lazy-loaded chunk per effect, not a single fat bundle).
<h3>Use cases</h3>
<ul>
<li>Hero sections that need motion without an animated video.</li>
<li>Landing pages where you want a moving backdrop behind a CTA.</li>
<li>Portfolios and agency sites that want a signature visual.</li>
<li>Conference, course, and event sites that want a “live” feel.</li>
<li>Dark-mode marketing pages where Aurora or Light Pillar adds depth.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Performance and Core Web Vitals</h3>
Animation Kit is built around lazy loading. The frontend script only ships when a background is enabled; the heavy rendering code (Three.js, OGL, the per-effect shader) is split into separate chunks loaded on demand after <code>DOMContentLoaded</code>. On mobile, particle counts and pixel ratios are clamped automatically.
Compatibility filters are registered for WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, Autoptimize, W3 Total Cache, and WP Fastest Cache so their delay-JS / combine-JS / minify rules don’t break the lazy chunks.
<h3>Accessibility</h3>
<ul>
<li>The canvas wrapper is <code>aria-hidden="true"</code> and <code>pointer-events: none</code> — assistive tech ignores it, and visitors can still click links, forms, and menus through it.</li>
<li><code>prefers-reduced-motion: reduce</code> is honored: when the user’s OS preference is set, the WebGL mount is skipped entirely. If the preference is toggled off during a session, the animation mounts at that point.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Animation Kit Pro</h3>
When the free tier stops fitting, Pro adds:
<ul>
<li>Multiple background configurations stacked or rotated on the same site.</li>
<li>Per-page placement rules — specific pages, CSS selectors, or HTML element targets.</li>
<li>Premium roadmap access and priority support.</li>
</ul>
