SmartParallax – Parallax Scroll Effects & Scroll Animations vs Parallax Section Block – give any section scroll-stopping depth

Turn flat pages into scroll-stopping experiences – add a parallax section where the background moves slower than the content, right from the Gutenberg editor. Demos Why Parallax Section Block? The parallax effect is a modern web design technique where the background element scrolls slower than the foreground content, creating a sense of depth as visitors move down the page. It’s a great way to highlight different sections on a lengthy page – landing pages, long-form content, sales pages, or the homepage of a business website. Parallax Section Block lets you create a parallax section in a few clicks, with no technical knowledge required. Just add the block in the Gutenberg editor, choose your background, and adjust the settings from the sidebar. Because the effect relies on lightweight JavaScript, it stays fast – and scripts only load on pages where the block is actually used. Free Features Easy to Use: Create a parallax section directly in the Gutenberg editor – no coding needed. Lightweight: Relies on JavaScript and loads scripts only when the block is used, keeping pages fast. Multiple Parallax Themes: Includes Blur Effect, Vertical, Particle, Three Image, and Row Scroll parallax styles. Customizable Settings: Fine-tune the block from the right-side settings sidebar. Reusable: Use the block as many times as you want across posts and pages. How to Use Install and activate the Parallax Section plugin. Add the Parallax Section block from the block category called “Widgets” in the Gutenberg editor. Change the block settings from the right-side settings sidebar. Publish – enjoy your parallax section! Use Cases Landing Pages: Highlight key sections with depth and motion. Sales Pages: Keep visitors scrolling with visually distinct sections. Long-Form Content: Break up lengthy pages into engaging segments. Business Homepages: Add a modern, polished feel to your most important page. Did you like this plugin? Dislike it?

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. It’s a simple way to add a website effect that responds to scroll position, without touching a line of JavaScript. 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 Gutenberg animations for blocks and sections Page effects triggered by scroll position 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.
