Haven’t you ever wondered what the world would be like if GeoCities worked on your phone? Glitter Bomb brings interactive cursor effects and confetti-style particle fields to WordPress — with touch support that actually works.

Particles follow your cursor on desktop and your finger on mobile with smooth gesture tracking. Choose between compact trails or scattered drifting patterns.
<a href="https://klatespencer.com/particle-field/" rel="nofollow ugc">💫 Particle Field Mode</a> 
Your entire page becomes a canvas of shimmering glitter. Particles drift, attract to your cursor or touch, and explode into sparkles on click or tap.
Honest assessment: No site needs this. It adds JavaScript, it competes with your content, and enabling it by default on a checkout page would be irresponsible. On a hero section, birthday page, portfolio, or anywhere a little extra is exactly right? Absolutely your call.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Touch-optimized from the start — particle trails follow your finger, tap triggers explosions, separate sizing controls for mobile vs. desktop, and an option to disable on mobile entirely</li>
<li>WCAG 2.2 AA compliant — keyboard navigation, screen reader support, <code>prefers-reduced-motion</code> respect</li>
<li>Six color palettes (Rainbow, Metallic, Neutral Spectrum, Warm Sunset, Cool Ocean, Custom)</li>
<li>Customizable toggle button: position, text, and gradient colors</li>
<li>No external dependencies, no tracking, no data collection</li>
<li>Performance optimizations: object pooling, particle culling, canvas scaling, RAF animation</li>
</ul>

Glitter Bomb

Maximalist particle effects for WordPress — touch-responsive sparkle trails and glitter fields. WCAG 2.2 AA compliant.

Aizle Dots paints a living field of coloured particles behind or over your site. They drift slowly on their own, and part in a wide, soft wave around your visitor’s cursor. A premium, modern touch in two clicks.
It’s built to be the good kind of effect:
<ul>
<li>Dependency-free. One small vanilla-JavaScript canvas. No jQuery, no animation libraries, no bloat.</li>
<li>Private by design. No external requests, no tracking, no calls home. Your site stays your site.</li>
<li>Respectful. Honours the visitor’s “reduce motion” setting, pauses when the browser tab is hidden (saving battery and CPU), and never blocks clicks, links, or forms.</li>
<li>Tunable. A friendly settings page for colours, opacity, density, cursor behaviour, shapes, and where it shows.</li>
<li>Light. Particle count scales to the screen; you can disable it on mobile or place it behind your content for maximum readability.</li>
</ul>
Switch it on and it looks great immediately with sensible defaults, then make it yours.
What you can control
<ul>
<li>Your own colour palette (add or remove colours).</li>
<li>Opacity, density (more ↔ fewer dots), and particle size.</li>
<li>Cursor reach and push strength, plus how much the field drifts on its own (down to perfectly still).</li>
<li>Shapes: dots, squares, triangles, in any combination.</li>
<li>Layer: over your content (subtle overlay) or behind it (safest for text).</li>
<li>Where it appears: sitewide, the front page only, or by post type, with an exclude-by-ID list.</li>
<li>Accessibility & performance: respect reduced motion, and an optional “disable on mobile”.</li>
</ul>
