There should be no notable adverse effects on performance, also given the plugin uses the [WordPress Script Modules API](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2024/03/04/script-modules-in-6-5/) that was introduced in WordPress 6.5. The plugin respects user preferences for reduced motion, as a best practice for accessibility.

You install it, and it just works. ### Does the plugin support reduced motion preferences? Yes! For better accessibility, for clients that are configured to reduce motion the snow fall effect will not show. The `prefers-reduced-motion` media query is used to detect such a preference. ### Where should I submit my support request?
