KineticHub – Animated Blocks vs Maintenance & Coming Soon Redirect Animation

KineticHub is a lightweight suite of animated Gutenberg blocks for designers, agencies, developers, and site builders who want to add motion, media, and interactive UI effects to WordPress pages without leaving the block editor. The plugin includes visual blocks for animated typography, video modals, audio players, before-and-after image comparisons, marquees, interactive buttons, hero backgrounds, scroll dividers, split scroll layouts, cursor reveal lists, ambient visuals, and motion-ready containers. KineticHub is designed for modern WordPress workflows. Blocks can be inserted, configured, and reused directly inside the editor, while frontend assets are loaded through WordPress block asset registration. Use KineticHub to build: Animated landing page sections Portfolio and agency pages Interactive hero areas Product and service highlights Editorial layouts with motion Media-rich Gutenberg pages Lightweight visual effects without a page builder dependency View demos and documentation at: https://getkinetichub.com KineticHub includes 13 Gutenberg blocks. The full block list is available in the Blocks section below. Performance Focused KineticHub is designed to avoid unnecessary page weight and unnecessary frontend execution. Block assets are loaded through WordPress block asset registration. Shared runtime behavior is handled by lightweight frontend assets. Video embeds are initialized lazily after user interaction where supported by the block setup. Motion-heavy effects respect reduced-motion preferences. Global motion settings can be configured from the KineticHub dashboard. Blocks are designed to work with modern WordPress themes and performance optimization tools. Accessibility KineticHub includes accessibility-oriented behavior across supported blocks. Reduced-motion support for users who prefer less animation. Keyboard focus handling where interactive controls are used. Screen-reader friendly fallback text for animated typography. ARIA labels for video modal controls. Semantic output and escaped server-side rendering. Interactive blocks are designed to remain usable without relying only on motion. External Services The plugin does not connect to external services on activation. Some blocks may load third-party media only when a site administrator configures content that uses those providers. For example, the Kinetic Video Modal block can embed videos from YouTube or Vimeo when a YouTube or Vimeo URL is entered by the site administrator. Third-party services may receive visitor data when embedded media is loaded by the browser. This depends on the configured media URL, the provider used, and the visitor’s browser behavior. Supported optional video providers include: YouTube YouTube NoCookie Vimeo Self-hosted media files can also be used. Provider endpoints that may be used when configured by the site administrator: YouTube video embeds: https://www.youtube.com/ YouTube privacy-enhanced embeds: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/ YouTube thumbnail images: https://img.youtube.com/ Vimeo video embeds: https://player.vimeo.com/ Provider policies: YouTube Terms of Service: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms YouTube Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy Vimeo Terms of Service: https://vimeo.com/terms Vimeo Privacy Policy: https://vimeo.com/privacy Source Code This plugin includes compiled JavaScript and CSS generated with npm and WordPress build tools.

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 IPv4 and IPv6 addresses can be set up to completely bypass maintenance mode. IPv4 Class C wildcards are also supported. 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 temporary cookie 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 Password Access – allow visitors to preview the site with a shared password. Password access lasts for 24 hours in each browser. Custom Maintenance Pages – select a published page from its post list actions to use it as the maintenance page, with an option to exclude individual public posts from maintenance mode. Custom Login URL – optionally restrict direct access to wp-login.php and use a custom login URL instead. 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. You can either choose your animation from the library or upload your own; this animation will be shown in front of your site when it is undergoing maintenance. The included Lottie Animation (WP Loti) Gutenberg block lets you insert an animation from the plugin library into posts and pages, with autoplay, loop, width, and height controls.
