Fast Smooth Scroll
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 Several other smooth scrolling solutions unfortunately rely on outdated techniques such as jQuery, which can hurt your site’s performance, and is really not necessary to provide the feature.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 You may already use a smooth scrolling plugin, but it is worth double checking that it doesn’t use one of those outdated, inefficient, and inaccessible approaches that may slow down your site or affect user interactions negatively.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. For relevant browser support, see: * CSS Scroll-behavior * CSS property: scroll-padding-top * prefers-reduced-motion media query * requestAnimationFrame * High Resolution Time API * NodeList API * Window API: scrollTo

SmartParallax – Parallax Scroll Effects & Scroll Animations
SmartParallax is a wordpress parallax plugin that adds true scroll-linked parallax scroll effects to WordPress — built for performance, not gimmicks. Unlike many animation plugins, SmartParallax does not run time-based animations. All motion is directly tied to the user’s scroll position. If the user doesn’t scroll, nothing moves. This approach results in excellent performance, smooth motion and stable Core Web Vitals — even on mobile devices. You don’t write JavaScript. You don’t configure timelines. You simply add a CSS class to a block, image or section — and the parallax scroll effect works instantly. SmartParallax uses a small, dependency-free JavaScript engine and GPU-accelerated transforms. There is no jQuery, no frameworks and no heavy animation libraries involved. Apply parallax scrolling to individual images, entire blocks, or full-width sections — including parallax-section-backgrounds and background effects — all with a single CSS class. The plugin works out of the box with: Gutenberg (Block Editor), Full Site Editing (FSE), Elementor (scroll effects & parallax), Bricks, Divi, Oxygen, WPBakery and most modern WordPress themes. Perfect for: Parallax scroll sections Scroll animations in Elementor Gutenberg scroll effects Background parallax images Lightweight animation on scroll Scroll-linked image animations Motion effects on any block or section Scroll effects in Oxygen Editor Scroll effects in Bricks Page animations without writing any code Website animations tied to scroll position CSS effects applied with a single class name Live demo: See all free effects in action. https://smartparallax.com/wordpress-parallax-plugin-demo/ Why SmartParallax SmartParallax is built for developers and designers who want clean, scroll-driven motion without sacrificing performance or Core Web Vitals.
