Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Glitter Bomb

The particle effects only appear on the frontend to prevent performance issues in the editor. The editor displays a beautiful preview with settings summary and all customization controls. Click the expand/collapse toggle to view your current settings.
Absolutely! Glitter Bomb is fully optimized for mobile and tablet devices with: * Complete touch event support for particle trails following your finger * Tap-responsive explosion effects * Separate mobile particle size controls for optimal visual balance * Canvas resolution optimization for better performance on high-DPI screens * Touch-optimized toggle button meeting minimum 44x44px touch target requirements * Optional mobile disable feature for older devices * Responsive viewport handling that adapts to mobile browser UI changes * Smooth gesture tracking with touch event throttling The plugin works beautifully on iOS (iPhone/iPad), Android phones and tablets, and all modern touch-enabled devices.
Yes! Glitter Bomb was built with WCAG 2.2 AA criteria in mind and includes: * Complete keyboard navigation support * Screen reader announcements * Focus indicators that meet contrast requirements * Respect for prefers-reduced-motion user preferences * Minimum touch target sizes for mobile (44x44px) * Semantic HTML structure
For optimal performance across all devices: * Sprinkle Trail mode: Maximum 100 particles (default 50) * Particle Field mode: Maximum 500 particles (default 200) You can adjust these limits in the block settings. The plugin uses advanced optimizations to ensure smooth performance even at higher particle counts on both desktop and mobile devices.
Yes, 100% this is a wildly extra effect with a ton of JavaScript. However, I've done my best to mitigate that by applying: * Object pooling reduces memory usage * Particle culling prevents off-screen rendering * Canvas scaling optimizes mobile performance * Touch event throttling prevents overwhelming mobile processors * Animation pauses when tab is hidden * Smart particle limits maintain smooth framerates * Proper resource cleanup prevents memory leaks * Mobile-specific optimizations for high-DPI screens
Yes! You have multiple color options: * Pre-defined palettes: Rainbow, Metallic, Neutral Spectrum, Warm Sunset, Cool Ocean * Color cycling: All palettes smoothly cycle through their colors * Custom colors: Use the color picker for precise color control * Gradient buttons: Toggle buttons automatically match your palette or use custom gradients
Sprinkle Trail Mode: Creates particles that follow your cursor or finger on touch devices, perfect for focused effects on specific content areas. Choose between: * Compact: Tight trailing effect with faster fade * Scattered: Particles drift outward as they fade Particle Field Mode: Creates a full-screen magical experience with hundreds of particles that: * Gently drift across the entire viewport * Attract to your cursor or touch with physics-based movement * Explode into sparkles on click or tap * Return to their home positions when cursor/touch leaves
Yes! A customizable toggle button allows users to enable/disable effects at any time. The plugin remembers their preference using sessionStorage. You can also: * Set whether effects are enabled by default * Customize button text and colors * Position the button in any screen corner * Disable effects entirely on mobile if desired
Yes, by design. The Glitter Bomb block creates full-page effects and is limited to one instance per post/page. This ensures: * Optimal performance * Consistent user experience * No conflicting particle systems
The block works on all modern browsers: * Chrome (latest) * Firefox (latest) * Safari (latest) - Privacy-friendly, non-fingerprinting implementation * Edge (latest) * Mobile browsers (iOS Safari, Chrome Mobile, Samsung Internet) The plugin uses standard HTML5 Canvas and modern JavaScript features supported by all current browsers.
