Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records CanvaMotion for Elementor version 1.0.1 as active, updated 6mo ago and tested up to WordPress 6.9.
Overview
About this plugin
CanvaMotion adds a new “Animated Background” capability to any Elementor Container or legacy Section element. It renders lightweight, GPU-friendly particle animations using the HTML5 Canvas 2D API and plain JavaScript — no external libraries, no iframes, no coding required.
Three animation types
Neural Network — Floating nodes connected by a glowing line web. Mouse repels nodes away from the cursor.
Particle Field — Glowing particles that drift and pulse in brightness. Mouse attracts particles magnetically toward the cursor.
Constellation — Sparse twinkling stars joined by dashed lines. Mouse exerts gentle gravity pulling nearby stars closer.
What you can control per container
Enable / disable animation with a single toggle
Choose animation type from a dropdown
Set dot colour, line colour, and optional canvas background colour
Live preview inside the Elementor editor — no page reload required
Performance
Animations pause automatically when scrolled out of the viewport (IntersectionObserver)
Canvas resizes automatically with the container (ResizeObserver)
JavaScript loads in the footer — zero render-blocking
No external HTTP requests at runtime
Canvas uses pointer-events: none — all content inside the container stays fully clickable
Compatibility
Works with modern Elementor Containers and legacy Section elements
Requires Elementor (free) — no Elementor Pro needed
