Fast Smooth Scroll vs Maintenance & Coming Soon Redirect Animation

This plugin takes a no-frills approach to smooth scrolling, providing a fast, performant, and accessible user experience. Simply enable the plugin, and any anchor links (i.e. links that point to other content on the same page) will provide a smooth scrolling experience rather than abruptly jumping to the destination content. The plugin relies on the latest smooth scrolling techniques using CSS. A very fast and lightweight JavaScript polyfill (<1KB) is included to equally support older browsers, including Internet Explorer. So you can rest assured this plugin covers your userbase. Why does this plugin exist? Smooth scrolling is a basic feature to enhance user experience, so it shouldn’t come at a performance cost that at the same time harms user experience elsewhere. Several other smooth scrolling solutions unfortunately rely on outdated techniques such as jQuery, which can hurt your site’s performance, and is really not necessary to provide the feature. Even browsers as old as 10 years don’t need jQuery to achieve smooth scrolling. In fact, as of today you can achieve the behavior with only CSS, not even requiring any JavaScript. Another potential reason to use this plugin over other smooth scrolling solutions is accessibility: This plugin respects the user preferences around reduced motion, which can avoid discomfort for those with vestibular motion disorders. You may already use a smooth scrolling plugin, but it is worth double checking that it doesn’t use one of those outdated, inefficient, and inaccessible approaches that may slow down your site or affect user interactions negatively. More technical details This plugin simply enables smooth scrolling with the scroll-behavior CSS property. This property has been supported by all modern browsers for a few years now. To support older browsers as well, a lightweight JavaScript polyfill is included, which is only loaded for browsers that lack support for the CSS property and doesn’t require any dependencies. The polyfill uses latest JavaScript user experience best practices such as requestAnimationFrame to provide a smooth scrolling experience without potentially blocking other user interactions.

This super lightweight plugin is intended primarily for developers, designers and site administrators that need to allow clients to preview the site before being available to the public or to temporarily hide it while undergoing major updates. Any logged-in user with WordPress administrator privileges will be allowed to view the site regardless of the settings in the plugin. The exact privilege can be set using a filter hook – see FAQs. The behaviour of this can be enabled or disabled at any time without losing any of the settings configured in its settings pane. However, deactivating the plugin is recommended versus having it activated while disabled. When redirect is enabled, it can send a different header types. A list of IP addresses can be set up to completely bypass maintenance mode. This option is useful when needing to allow a client’s entire office to access the site while in maintenance mode without needing to maintain individual access keys. Access keys work by creating a key on the user’s computer that will be checked against when maintenance mode is active. When a new key is created, a link to create the access key cookie will be emailed to the email address provided. Access can then be revoked either by disabling or deleting the key. Whitelisted User Roles – user roles who see the site, instead of under maintenance page Whitelisted Users – users who see the site, instead of maintenance page Animations : Animation on the web is not only fun, but engaging in such a way that it has converted site visitors into customers even before will be available to the general public and it will make them eagerly await its launch.
