The Kadence Page Transitions plugin is a lightweight performance-focused tool designed to replace the "hard refresh" white screens that occur when a user clicks a link on your website. Instead of the browser simply jumping to the next page, this plugin adds a smooth, animated flow that makes your site feel more like a modern app.
Four Preset Transitions: You can choose between different animation styles like Fade, Zoom, Slide Up, and Slide Down.
Loading Spinners: While the next page is being fetched, you can display a customizable loader or spinner to keep the user engaged.
Custom Speed & Easing: Fine-tune exactly how long the animation takes (e.g., $400ms$) and the "vibe" of the movement (smooth, fast, etc.).
Background Control: You can set a specific background color for the transition period to match your brand's palette.
Lightweight Code: In typical Kadence fashion, it is built to be extremely fast and only loads the necessary scripts, ensuring it doesn't hurt your SEO or Core Web Vitals.
Once the plugin is installed and activated, you can find the settings in your WordPress dashboard:
Navigate to Appearance > Kadence > Page Transitions.
Select Transition In/Out: Choose your preferred animation style.
Toggle Loader: Decide if you want a loading icon to appear.
Preview: Use the live preview feature to see how it feels before saving.
As of late 2025, the Kadence Page Transitions plugin is primarily available through the Kadence Bundles:
Kadence Express Plan: ~$69/year (Up to 3 sites).
Kadence Full/Ultimate Bundle: ~$299/year (Includes all current and future plugins).
Individual Purchase: It can sometimes be purchased a la carte for around $69, though Kadence encourages bundles for better value.
While there are free alternatives like View Transitions, the Kadence version is specifically optimized to work with the Kadence Theme and Kadence Blocks. It handles "out of the box" compatibility issues that often break other transition plugins, such as:
Making sure Google Analytics still tracks the page view correctly.
Ensuring the Admin Bar doesn't flicker during the transition.
Integrating seamlessly with WooCommerce checkout flows.
