icon-module-sec-post-preview

SEC IMAGES

Showcase your images with an image slider, image comparison, or add hotspots to create interactive elements for your page layouts.

Page Speed Impact

LOW

Depending on the layout chosen, only the necessary CSS and JS are loaded.

If the module is not in the browser viewport (especially on mobile), you can further improve the performance by unchecking the "Is in Viewport?" setting.

MEDIUM

If used in the browser viewport it will increase the impact on page speed.

Using more than one layout on the same page can also increase the page load time.

TIPS

Convert images to WebP where possible to meet criteria to serve images in next-gen format.

To reduce image file sizes without losing quality, use TinyPNG to compress your images (JPG, PNG, WebP).

FAQ

Why aren't the navigation arrows showing for my slider?

When using the slider layout, the Section content alignment setting has to be set to Full Width for the navigation arrows to display properly.

Module Options

The smaller text above the title; can be left blank to hide on the page.

Title

The main heading for the section; can be left blank to hide on the page.

Title - Header Type

Choice of H1, H2, H3, or H4. This is how Google will determine the heading type. This does not control the formatting of the font, there is a separate setting under Style → Title Size to determine how the heading will display.

Description

You can add any amount of body text here or it can be left blank to hide on the page.

Image (DEPRECATED)

Screenshot 2023-10-15 at 8.11.22 AM

Lottie File > Lottie Player Settings

The animation is set to Autoplay and Loop by default.

lottie-player-settings-module-animations

Autoplay: uncheck the box to require click interaction to start the animation.

Speed: the default is 1, setting speed to less than 1 will make it slower and greater than 1 will make it faster.

Loop: uncheck the box to play the animation only once, otherwise the animation will loop. The default is to loop indefinitely.

Countdefines the number of times to loop the animation. Setting the count property to 0 and keeping Loop checked, loops the animation indefinitely.

Intermission: the duration to pause before playing each cycle in a looped animation. Set this parameter to 0 (no pause) or any positive number.

Hover: check the box to play the animation when the user hovers the mouse over the icon.

Background Color: the default setting is set to transparent so the animation inherits the background from the module or section. Select a hex value to change the background color and set the transparency percentage to greater than 0% to make it visible.

Controls: displays player controls.

Layout → Full Width

Option to have the slider or image span the full width of the screen.

This is different from the setting for the Section content and alignment that must be set to Full Width for the slider to work as expected.

Layout → Intro Width

This allows you to control the width of the text, with two choices: Narrow or Default.

The module is set to "Narrow" when you add it to the page (this was the original layout prior to adding this choice as a setting). Narrow limits the width of the section text (intro to title, title, and description) within the section.

"Default" allows the text to fill the width of the module; the width is dependent on whether the section is set to "content width" or "full width" in the section settings.

layout-intro-width-settings

Layout → Centered

By default, the section text (intro to title, title, and description) is left-aligned. If you want the text to be centered, you can check this box.

Layout → Padding Top and Padding Bottom

Choice of Standard, None, Small, Medium, Large, or First Section with Header. Refer to Settings that apply to all Section Modules for more details about these choices.

Style → Color Scheme

Choice of Light or Dark.

Tip: If you change the background color for the module, the definition of Light Color scheme is a light background with dark text and Dark Color scheme is a dark background with light text. Based on your background color, you would need to toggle the color scheme to ensure the text color displays properly and is legible.

Style → Intro Title Style - Text

The Default uses the text style from the Theme Settings based on the color scheme selected.

You can override the Theme Settings by choosing Color or Gradient and completing the corresponding color settings.

Style → Intro Title Style - Background

You can apply a background Color or Gradient to the text to give the appearance of a highlight behind the text.

Style → Intro Title Style - Border Radius

When a background color or gradient is applied, you will also have the option to configure the Border Radius in pixels.

If not set, the default Border Radius from your Theme Settings will apply.

Style →  Title Style

The Default uses the text style from the Theme Settings based on the color scheme selected.

You can override the Theme Settings by choosing Color or Gradient and completing the corresponding color settings.

Style →  Title Size

The Default is set to match what you chose for Title Header-Type, what Google sees from an SEO perspective. This setting gives you the option to change the Title Size to H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, or H6 so that the text will be styled based on your Theme Settings for the corresponding header tag chosen here.

Style → Background

Choice of Background Color, Background Image/Video, Background Gradient, or Transparent. Refer to Settings that apply to all Section Modules for more details about these choices.

Style → Shape Divider

section-module-anchor-link-id-custom-class-is-in-viewport

If the module is outside of the viewport, especially on mobile, uncheck this box so the CSS loads asynchronously.
