SUB STEPS

Add individual steps to build a custom section.

Steps can have numbers, icons, images, or text only.

Page Speed Impact

LOW

The module has very little impact on page speed because the images are lazy loaded by default.

MEDIUM

If used above the fold (is in viewport), loading images will increase 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

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

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

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