Frequently Asked Questions
Do glow effects impact website performance?
CSS glow effects use hardware acceleration and are very efficient. However, excessive use of complex multi-layer glows can impact performance on older devices.
Are pulse animations accessible?
Yes, our generated animations respect the prefers-reduced-motion setting, automatically reducing or disabling animations for users who prefer less motion.
Can I control when animations start and stop?
Absolutely! You can trigger animations on hover, focus, click, or control them programmatically with CSS classes and JavaScript.
What's the best practice for using glow effects?
Use glow effects sparingly and purposefully. Reserve them for important elements that need attention, and ensure they align with your overall design aesthetic and brand personality.
