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 Jupa – Blocknimations version 1.1.0 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Jupa Blocknimations adds animation controls directly to the blocks you already use (paragraph, image, columns, group, and more) — no new block, no extra markup. css catalog (97 animations, plus 4 custom “Reveal” wipes).
On Enter (default): plays once the first time a block scrolls into view, staggering blocks that enter together. Works in every browser.
Scroll driven: ties the animation to scroll position via native CSS ( animation-timeline ), falling back to “On Enter” automatically where unsupported.
Respects reduced motion: with the OS “reduce motion” setting, animated blocks render in their final state — no movement.
Loads only where needed: pages without an animated block skip the animation CSS and script entirely.
No animation JS library is bundled — just a small IntersectionObserver (under 1KB) plus plain CSS. g. important ).
A note on restraint: animation is a great touch, but overusing it or mixing too many effects tends to hurt more than it helps. That’s why the toolbar leads with a short, curated shortlist — the full catalog is one click away via “More Animations…” when you actually need it.
How to Use
Select a supported block (paragraph, heading, image, gallery, group, columns, button, cover, video, and more).
Three icons appear in its toolbar:
Animation: the curated shortlist, or More Animations… for the full catalog.
Delay: a fixed 200ms–3000ms delay, or leave on “None” for automatic staggering.
Type: click to switch between On Enter and Scroll driven (hides Delay, which has no effect there).
Preview on the front end — animations only run there, never in the editor.
