Hero Section for Block Editor

Create responsive and customizable hero sections using the WordPress block editor.

WPXERO

<p>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.</p>
<p>The plugin is <strong>builder-agnostic</strong>: 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.</p>
<h3>How it works</h3>
<p>You get a dedicated <strong>Background Animation</strong> screen inside the WP admin. From there:</p>
<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>
<p>The free tier targets the whole website (single configuration). Pro adds multiple stacked configurations and per-page placement rules.</p>
<h3>Effects included in the free version</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Antigravity</strong> — Magnetic particle field that reacts to pointer movement. Good for tech, SaaS, and sci-fi-style hero sections.</li>
<li><strong>Aurora</strong> — Flowing color washes. Suits portfolios, night-mode brands, and creative agencies.</li>
<li><strong>Color Bends</strong> — Multi-stop color gradient with noise warp and slow rotation. Works as a brand backdrop.</li>
<li><strong>Grid Scan</strong> — Animated grid with a sweep line. Tech, cyber, and dashboard aesthetics.</li>
<li><strong>Line Waves</strong> — Concentric line waves with color cycling. Graphic, poster-like.</li>
<li><strong>Liquid Ether</strong> — Fluid simulation that ripples and bends with cursor movement. Most “wow” of the set.</li>
<li><strong>Particles</strong> — Drifting particle systems with configurable count, color, and spread.</li>
<li><strong>Pixel Blast</strong> — Animated pixel patterns (square, circle, triangle) with optional click-ripples. Retro and game-style.</li>
<li><strong>Plasma</strong> — Classic plasma shader with direction, scale, and color. Soft demoscene feel.</li>
<li><strong>Prism</strong> — Rotating 3D prism with bloom. Crystalline, futuristic.</li>
<li><strong>Radar</strong> — Sweep-style radar visualization with ring and spoke controls.</li>
<li><strong>Soft Aurora</strong> — Lower-intensity aurora with two-color gradient. Easier on small-screen viewers.</li>
<li><strong>Light Pillar</strong> — Vertical light column with adjustable glow, width, height, and rotation. Good for landing-page focal points.</li>
</ul>
<p>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).</p>
<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>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Compatibility filters are registered for <strong>WP Rocket</strong>, <strong>LiteSpeed Cache</strong>, <strong>Autoptimize</strong>, <strong>W3 Total Cache</strong>, and <strong>WP Fastest Cache</strong> so their delay-JS / combine-JS / minify rules don’t break the lazy chunks.</p>
<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>
<p>When the free tier stops fitting, Pro adds:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Multiple background configurations</strong> stacked or rotated on the same site.</li>
<li><strong>Per-page placement rules</strong> — specific pages, CSS selectors, or HTML element targets.</li>
<li>Premium roadmap access and priority support.</li>
</ul>
