Smooth MouseWheel WordPress Plugin

MouseWheel Movements Do Not Need to Be Jumpy.

Demo / Download

We want all our websites to be amazing, that’s why we just love adding nifty effects in our sites like:

  • large images,
  • parallax backgrounds,
  • fancy entrance animations,
  • and many more.

However, these effects can sometimes be made less awesome because when your visitors scroll down using their mouse wheel, the screen just jumps down. This is especially harmful to parallax effects, since a jumpy scroll would make the parallax unnoticeable.

This script will make your site cool again by making the scroll movement of the mouse wheel smooth. Even scrolling by pressing the up and down keys are made smooth.

Just activate the plugin in WordPress, and smooth scrolling will be applied to your whole site right away.
