Smooth Scroll
Add inertia smooth-scrolling to the whole site — wheel and trackpad scrolling glides with a little momentum instead of jumping, the way premium sites feel. It's powered by Lenis and is a single site-wide switch.
This is different from the theme's "Smooth Scroll for Anchor Links" (which only eases jumps to
#anchors): this smooths all scrolling on the page.
Browsers run scroll-linked effects slightly out of sync with native scroll, which causes micro-jitter — the number-one "cheap vs. premium" tell. Smooth Scroll keeps the page and every scroll effect in lockstep, frame-for-frame, so the whole site feels like one polished system.
Where to find it
Theme Settings → Site-wide UX → Smooth Scroll → Smooth (inertia) scrolling → Yes.
It's a site-wide setting (not a per-element option), and it takes effect on the front end only — the Page Builder keeps normal scrolling so editing stays predictable.
Options
| Option | Notes |
|---|---|
| Smooth (inertia) scrolling | The master switch (default No) |
| Smoothness | How floaty the scroll feels — lower is snappier (closer to native), higher glides longer. Default is a balanced middle |
| Scroll speed (%) | How far one wheel notch travels, relative to normal (50–200%, default 100%) |
| Enable on touch devices | Off by default — smoothing touch scrolling often feels wrong, so phones/tablets keep native scrolling unless you turn this on |
How it works with the other scroll features
- One scroll engine. Smooth Scroll shares a single Lenis instance with the Infinite Scroll Loop module — enabling both never creates two competing smooth-scrollers.
- Stays in sync with Scroll Motion. On pages that also use Scroll Motion (GSAP + ScrollTrigger), Smooth Scroll drives ScrollTrigger from the same clock, so scrubbed and pinned effects track the smoothed scroll exactly — no lag or drift.
position: stickykeeps working. Lenis keeps native scroll under the hood (that's why it's the industry standard), so pinned sections, sticky headers and anchor links all behave normally.
Performance & accessibility
- Loads only when enabled — no assets ship on a site that leaves it off.
- Respects reduced motion — visitors who ask their OS to reduce motion get plain native scrolling, automatically.
- Touch-safe — native scrolling on phones/tablets unless you explicitly opt in.
