smoothState.js is a jQuery plugin that progressively enhances page loads to provide smooth, controlled page transitions using pushState. It gracefully degrades in browsers lacking required features, simply fading out and never running.

Use cases

  • add smooth page transitions to a multi-page website
  • make traditional server-rendered pages feel like a single-page app
  • implement contextual or anchor-based transition animations between pages
  • avoid full page reload flicker on navigation
  • progressively enhance navigation for browsers that support pushState

When to choose

  • you have an existing jQuery-based multi-page site and want fluid page transitions without a full SPA rewrite
  • you want progressive enhancement that degrades gracefully on older browsers
  • you need lightweight AJAX page swapping with transition control

When to avoid

  • you are building a modern SPA with React, Vue, or similar frameworks that handle routing and transitions natively
  • your project does not use jQuery
  • you need active maintenance and ongoing updates for a new project
