This is exactly what I needed! A simple and easy tool that animates basically anything.

Does Not Work!

I was so hopeful this plugin could do Exit Animations on Elementor, but it doesn’t. In fact, it does absolutely nothing. I installed and activated this plugin, navigated to the Motion Effects Advanced

Simple, lightweight, just works!

If you’re looking for a no frills back to top button that works, this is it. It offers plenty of customization all things considered. It’s only 172kb in size, which is a fraction of the size of others
