# Animation

Spark uses **animation** effects for pages and sections to create a more engaging user experience. Animations play an important role to delight and inform your customers, which can make them stick around longer and keep coming back.

When animations are enabled, text and images are loaded dynamically: section contents slide, fade, zoom, or ease into position at a delay rather than all at once.

Other animations include a "shimmer" over images and subtle visual changes that draw attention to interactive elements like buttons or hot spots.

### Turn off animations

You may want to turn off animations if you have concerns about load time, style, or accessibility. You can do so in your **Theme settings** or in individual **Section settings**.

2. Click to open the **Style** tab.

   > You can also disable animations for specific sections under their settings.
4. Click **Save**.
