Async Page Transitions with GSAP

A premium page transition system inspired by Aristide Benoist's Watson website and the Codrops tutorial by Valentin Mor.

The core innovation: both the current and next page coexist in the DOM simultaneously, enabling true crossfade/overlay transitions impossible with simple CSS transitions.

When to use this

  • Adding route transitions to an SPA
  • Building a portfolio, agency site, or editorial site that needs cinematic navigation
  • Any request for "smooth page transitions", "page reveals", "crossfade between routes"
  • Upgrading a basic router with visual transitions
  • Building marketing/landing pages with premium feel
