WP Jutsu is a small WordPress plugin studio, based in France, that builds lightweight, single-purpose plugins rather than large all-in-one suites. Its current lineup is three plugins: CursorFlex, which replaces the browser's default cursor with customizable dot/ring styles, custom SVG or image cursors, trailing effects, and click effects; PageFluent, which adds animated page-load transitions and branded loading screens between page navigations; and ReadJutsu, which adds a reading-time badge and a scroll-progress bar to posts via native Gutenberg blocks or shortcodes. Each plugin follows the same freemium model: a free version distributed through the WordPress.org plugin directory with support handled on the wp.org forums, and a Pro upgrade priced at $19/year across 1-site, 5-site, and unlimited-site license tiers (lifetime pricing is also offered), backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee. All three plugins include a live preview panel in the WordPress admin so changes can be previewed before saving.
Key Features
Custom cursor styles — Dot, ring, or both — with independent colors, size, and border-width sliders, plus a custom SVG or image cursor upload.
Cursor trail and click effects — requestAnimationFrame-driven cursor trail plus ripple, burst, and particle effects on click.
Per-page / per-category targeting — Show different cursor styles on different pages or content categories.
Animated page-load transitions — 6+ transition styles on the free tier and 15+ on Pro, combinable for a smoother flow between page loads.
Branded loading screens — Match loader colors to your brand palette and add your own logo to the loading screen.
Reading time badge — A badge showing estimated reading time, with pill, minimal, and inline styles plus custom WPM calculation.
Scroll progress bar — A solid or gradient progress bar that fills as readers scroll, auto-injected or placed by hand.
Gutenberg blocks and shortcodes — Native Gutenberg blocks and shortcodes to place the reading-time badge or progress bar anywhere, with per-post-type control.
Live preview panel — Every plugin includes a live preview pane in the WordPress admin so you can see changes before saving.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Every plugin has a genuinely free tier distributed on WordPress.org, not just a time-limited trial
Pro upgrade is affordable at $19/year with 1-site, 5-site, and unlimited-site options
14-day money-back guarantee on paid purchases
Live preview panel lets you see changes before saving
Each plugin is narrowly focused on one UX feature, keeping it lightweight
Cons
Only three niche plugins in the current lineup, not a full WordPress toolkit
Each plugin covers a narrow feature (cursor effects, page transitions, or reading time) rather than broader site functionality
A site that wants more than one of these features pays a separate $19/year license for each plugin
