SmartParallax – Parallax Scroll Effects & Scroll Animations

설명

SmartParallax adds true scroll-linked parallax effects to WordPress — designed 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.

The plugin works out of the box with:
Gutenberg (Block Editor), Full Site Editing (FSE), Elementor, 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

후기

Ich nutze SmartParallax auf meiner Website, auf der mehrere Scroll- und Parallax-Animationen eingesetzt werden. Besonders positiv ist, dass die Seite trotz der vielen Animationen sehr stabil bleibt, vor allem auf mobilen Geräten. Das Scrollen fühlt sich flüssig an und das Layout bleibt ruhig, ohne sichtbare Verschiebungen. Die Nutzung ist angenehm unkompliziert. Es sind keine Einstellungen oder Konfigurationsschritte nötig – die Effekte funktionieren direkt über CSS-Klassen. Für mich eine leichte und zuverlässige Lösung, um moderne Scroll-Effekte einzusetzen, ohne Performance- oder Usability-Probleme zu bekommen.

I’ve tested SmartParallax on a client website and the results are excellent. The plugin adds smooth parallax backgrounds and scroll effects without slowing down the page. Setup is very simple – adding the CSS classes is enough to get everything working. What I appreciate most is that the engine is lightweight and GPU-accelerated, so the scrolling stays smooth even with larger background images. It also worked well with the theme and builder used on the project. A solid plugin that does exactly what it promises.
