Biggest opportunity: Swap “animation”, “page loading effect” and “animation plugin” for “transition”, “css3 animation” and “awesome preloader”. “animation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “transition” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “page loading effect” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “css3 animation” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “animation plugin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “awesome preloader” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 150.4K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 4 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “animation”, “page loading effect” and “animation plugin” for “transition”, “css3 animation” and “awesome preloader”. “animation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “transition” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “page loading effect” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “css3 animation” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “animation plugin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “awesome preloader” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “animation plugin”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “page loading effect”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Oh, where to begin? Amateurish construction. Barebones instructions. Marginal support. (Don’t believe me? Check the support tab and read the replies by “support.”) The transition animation image samples would not load in the setup screen, so we had to test each one individually to see what the transition actually was. HINT: Transition image 7 is a creepy green eyeball – perfect for your upscale corporate website! 👁🗨 Keep in mind also that you end up having to manually edit the code snippet into your theme – not a big deal if you know what you’re doing, but a minor hassle if you don’t. ⭐ One out of five stars. On a scale of 0 to 100? Also a 1.

The “Page Animations And Transitions” plugin has great potential, but it’s not quite there yet. The effect appears after the page loads, which isn’t ideal. It would be even better if we could choose animations directly on each page and decide whether a page should have an animation or not. Additionally, the configuration page is too cluttered. A bit of work on this plugin could make it amazing, as the concept is great and there are few competitors.

It’s simple that this plugin is working as expected with my theme Woodmart.

you are better off setting body to opacity 0 and then 1 when document is loaded
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ jplafata4.7y ago
This plugin does work, but you must copy in the required preloader HTML in your theme’s header.php file. There is room for improvement though – this plugin only enables page-in animations so once a user navigates to another page, the current page just disappears. It would be nice to get page-in and page-out animations. I could look past this if the preloader option worked well, but only 1 out of the 5 icons worked. The 4 other icons just displayed a broken image placeholder image.

It doesn’t do anything. I don’t know why there is also a pro version.
