This is a simple way to add polish and improve the visual flow of your site. *** ### Page Transitions #### Page Transition Animation Choose how your page appears when it loads: * **None** — No animation * **Fade In** — Smooth fade effect as the page loads #### Transition Duration * Adjust the time (in seconds) the animation lasts * Use the slider or input box (e.g. `1s`, `2s`) to fine-tune the speed > ✨ A 1-second fade is a balanced choice that feels smooth but not slow. *** ### When to Use It Use the Fade In animation if: * You want to reduce harsh transitions between pages * Your site includes large background images or video * You're aiming for a refined or cinematic aesthetic Avoid using if: * You want the fastest load times with no effects * Your store relies on rapid navigation between product pages *** ### **Need Help?** * 💬 **Join our community on Discord:** * 📧 **Email us at:** * 💻 **Live chat with us:** Available Monday–Friday, 10AM–6PM EST, directly on our website --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
