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 12 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.
