<p>Shapes Smart Scroll Animations is a micro-tool designed for developers and designers who need clean entrance animations without external libraries.</p>
<p>This plugin uses a Smart Grid Delay logic to detect your layout structure and animate elements naturally, whether they are in a multi-column desktop grid or a single-column mobile view.</p>
<h3>How does it work?</h3>
<p>Here is a deep dive into the technical advantages of Shapes Smart Scroll Animations plugin:</p>
<h4>1. Smart Grid Delay logic</h4>
<p>The core of this plugin is the <code>calculateColumnsInGroup</code> algorithm. Instead of forcing you to write complex media queries for animation delays, the plugin:</p>
<ul>
<li>Dynamically checks the physical position (<code>offsetTop</code>) of elements.</li>
<li>Detects when a new row begins.</li>
<li>Resets the delay counter for every new row.</li>
<li>Result: Animations look professional and perfectly staggered on any screen size automatically.</li>
</ul>
<h4>2. Performance (Vanilla JS)</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Zero Dependencies:</strong> No jQuery, no GSAP, no heavy frameworks. The script is ultra-lightweight.</li>
<li><strong>IntersectionObserver API:</strong> I use the modern browser API to detect scrolling, which is much more efficient than listening to the <code>scroll</code> event.</li>
<li><strong>GPU Acceleration:</strong> CSS properties use <code>will-change</code> to inform the browser ahead of time, offloading rendering to the GPU for smooth animations.</li>
</ul>
<h4>3. Accessibility first</h4>
<p>This plugin automatically respects the user’s operating system preferences.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Reduced Motion Support:</strong> If a visitor has “Reduce Motion” enabled in their system (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android), the plugin automatically disables all entrance animations to prevent motion sickness.</li>
<li><strong>Inclusive Design:</strong> Your site remains compliant with modern web standards without extra work.</li>
</ul>
<h4>4. Developer friendly</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>No-JS Fallback:</strong> If JavaScript fails or is disabled, elements remain fully visible (opacity: 1). Your content is safe.</li>
<li><strong>CSS Variables:</strong> I moved hardcoded values to CSS Custom Properties (<code>:root</code>). You can globally change animation duration, easing, or distance directly in your theme’s CSS without editing plugin files.</li>
<li><strong>Simple Class System:</strong> Just add <code>.shps-animated</code> and an effect class.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Available effects</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Slide Up:</strong> <code>.shps-slide-up</code> (Classic elegant entrance)</li>
<li><strong>Zoom Out:</strong> <code>.shps-zoom-out</code> (Modern scaling effect)</li>
<li><strong>Slide Right:</strong> <code>.shps-slide-right</code></li>
<li><strong>Slide Left:</strong> <code>.shps-slide-left</code></li>
</ul>
<h3>How to use?</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Single Element:</strong> Add <code>shps-animated shps-slide-up</code> to any HTML element or Block.</li>
<li><strong>Grid/Group:</strong> Wrap elements in a container with class <code>shps-group</code> to enable the Smart Grid Delay.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Example HTML:</strong></p>
<pre><code><div class="shps-group">
    <div class="shps-animated shps-slide-up">Card 1</div>
    <div class="shps-animated shps-slide-up">Card 2</div>
    <div class="shps-animated shps-slide-up">Card 3</div>
</div>
</code></pre>
<h3>Manual delays & overrides</h3>
<p>You have two ways to control delays manually if you want to highlight specific items.</p>
<p><strong>Method 1: Helper Classes (Recommended for static HTML)</strong></p>
<p>Use these classes to set a fixed delay. The plugin will detect them and skip the automatic calculation for that specific element.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>.shps-delay-100</code> (0.1s) … to <code>.shps-delay-1000</code> (1.0s). Numeric values ​​in increments of 100.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Method 2: CSS Overrides (Recommended for dynamic loops)</strong></p>
<p>If you are generating lists via PHP (e.g., WordPress Loop) and cannot add specific classes to individual items, use CSS with <code>!important</code> to override the inline styles applied by the plugin.</p>
<pre><code>/* Example: Force 3rd item to wait 1 second */
.shps-group .shps-animated:nth-child(3) {
    transition-delay: 1.0s !important;
}
</code></pre>
<h3>Security & privacy</h3>
<p>This plugin is designed to be safe and lightweight:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>100% GDPR Compliant:</strong> No external calls, no tracking, no cookies, and no IP collection.</li>
<li><strong>Zero Dependencies:</strong> Written in pure Vanilla JS. No jQuery or external libraries that could cause conflicts.</li>
<li><strong>Database Free:</strong> The plugin does not perform any database queries (SQL), ensuring zero risk of injection attacks.</li>
<li><strong>Self-Contained:</strong> All assets are loaded locally. No reliance on external CDNs.</li>
</ul>

<p>If you are embedding Youtube video(s) into your site then you will need this plugin. As you may (or may not) know the default Youtube embed code is not responsive and in order to load the player itself your browser has to download more than 1MB of data from Youtube’s servers. That is way too much and this is the reason why we made this plugin. A video player has to be lightweight and responsive. Period.</p>
<p>This plugin is replacing the default Youtube player with the video’s high quality thumbnail and a play button. The real player and the video won’t load until you click on the play button or the thumbnail itself. With this easy trick you will have a much lighter and faster website and the thumbnail + the actual player will be responsive too.</p>
<p>Our plugin is only 60KB without any extra library or unnecessary function.</p>
<p>If you are speed-optimizing your site or if you want to reduce the loading times of your pages then you are at the right place.</p>
<h3>This plugin will:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Make all of the embedded Youtube videos responsive automatically</li>
<li>Will reduce the size of your pages (where you have embedded videos)</li>
<li>Will make your site faster</li>
<li>Will improve the user experience</li>
</ul>
<h3>You can also:</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Manually insert a different thumbnail for each embedded video with the ‘thumb_url’ parameter.</p>
<p>[youtube_embed url=”video_url” thumb-url=”custom_thumb_url”]</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Manually set a different width for each video with the ‘width’ parameter.</p>
<p>[youtube_embed url=”video_url” width=”50″]</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Manually align each video to left, right or center with the ‘align’ parameter.</p>
<p>[youtube_embed url=”video_url” align=”center”]</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Disable the related videos</p>
</li>
<li>Disable the video controls</li>
<li>Disable the fullscreen option</li>
<li>Align the videos globally or individually</li>
<li>Set the custom video width for all videos or to just a single video with a shortcode parameter</li>
</ul>
<h3>Comparison</h3>
<p>Here’s a quick comparison with the built-in TwentySeventeen theme (without any other plugin).</p>
<p>We placed a default Youtube video embed code in a new and empty page, ran the tests and then replaced it with our solution before running the tests again.</p>
<p>Total page size with the traditional Youtube embed code: 2.18MB<br />
Total page size with our lightweight & responsive embedder: 472KB</p>
<p>Page load time with the traditional Youtube embed code: 5.33s<br />
Page load time with our lightweight & responsive embedder: 2.52s</p>
