What it does
Plain headings do their job, but on a site with a futuristic or tech theme they can look flat next to the rest of the design. This plugin gives you a heading element with a built-in glitch animation, so post titles and main headings flicker and distort in the style of a broken digital screen. It works inside Elementor's drag and drop editor, which means you add and style the effect on the page itself instead of writing custom code.
Once the heading is on the page, you can tune the glitch intensity, colors, animation speed and text effects to match your branding. The code is built with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and the headings are responsive and retina ready, so they display cleanly on desktop and mobile screens. The effect is designed to keep text readable and to stay out of the way of screen readers. It suits blogs, portfolios, online stores and any site leaning into a modern, cyber look.
Best for
- Tech, gaming and cyber themed websites built with Elementor
- Creative portfolios that want animated, attention-grabbing titles
- Designers adding a futuristic style to client sites
