Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Glitter Bomb

Effects only render on the frontend. The editor shows a settings summary instead.

Yes. Particle trails follow your finger with smooth gesture tracking, tap triggers sparkle explosions in Particle Field mode, and you can configure separate particle sizes for mobile vs. desktop. If you need to, you can disable effects on mobile entirely — but the touch interactions are the fun part.

Yes. WCAG 2.2 AA compliant: keyboard navigation, screen reader announcements via ARIA live regions, visible focus indicators, and automatic respect for prefers-reduced-motion per WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 2.3.3.

Sprinkle Trail creates particles that follow cursor or touch movement in compact or scattered patterns. Particle Field fills the entire viewport with physics-based glitter that drifts, attracts to your cursor, and explodes on click.

Only on pages where the block is used — scripts and styles are loaded conditionally and won't touch pages that don't have the block. On pages that do have it, yes, there's an inordinate amount of JavaScript making this work. Object pooling, particle culling, canvas scaling, and smart particle limits help keep it reasonable — but it's still a lot. Plan accordingly.

Yes, always. There's a customizable toggle button (position, text, colors) and the plugin remembers the user's choice for the session. If you're going to shove glitter in people's faces, at least have the decency to let them turn it off.

Sprinkle Trail: up to 100 (default 50). Particle Field: up to 500 (default 200).

No. Zero tracking, zero analytics. It uses sessionStorage (not cookies) to remember whether a user turned effects on or off — that data never leaves their browser.

Yes, by design. Full-page effects don't stack well.

Yes — all effects run client-side, so cached pages work fine.
