Smooth page transitions use AJAX-driven content fetching to load new pages in the background, enabling SPA-like navigation on multi-page sites without jarring full reloads. This creates a seamless, dynamic user experience.

Yes, GSAP can be integrated for visual effects during page transitions. The system provides lifecycle hooks for transition phases like leave and enter, allowing precise control to trigger custom GSAP animations.

Lifecycle hooks provide precise control over transition phases like leave and enter. You need them when implementing custom animations to coordinate exactly when content leaves and enters during AJAX-driven page loads.

This approach is designed for multi-page websites to give them SPA-like navigation patterns. It fetches content in the background via AJAX, eliminating full reloads while maintaining the structure of a multi-page site.

To set up a basic fade transition, use the provided scripts to initialize the transition system and define a fade animation within the leave and enter lifecycle hooks for DOM manipulation during page changes.

Page transitions may fail if client-side JavaScript for DOM manipulation is not properly integrated or if lifecycle hooks are misconfigured. Ensure AJAX fetching is correctly targeting page containers and animations are bound to the right hooks.
