</div>What do I do with this?
- Put
ocean-blend-mode-headline-7855.cssanywhere your page already loads CSS from — in Next.js that isapp/globals.css, or any stylesheet with a<link>in your HTML. - Then put the class on the element you want it on:
<button class="fx-fb-blendtype-ocean-7854">. The CSS does nothing until a class name in it matches something on the page.
- Link the stylesheet, then paste the markup wherever you need it.

Motion safety
Static estimate, read from the CSS
- Reduced motion
- Brief motion, no guard
Animates briefly or on interaction. Only looping motion gets a guard in this catalog; copy the one from the Insights tab if this ships on a critical path.
- What it animates
- Reflows
Animates
letter-spacing(andmix-blend-mode). The browser re-lays-out the page on every frame; prefertransformif you can. - Flashing (WCAG 2.3.1)
- No flashing found
No repeating change in opacity, colour or brightness large enough to count as a flash.
- Layout shift (CLS)
- May shift layout
Animates
letter-spacingon a box in flow, so content beside or after it can move. Measured in Chromium: layout-shift score 0.0000 across 1 shift in 5.8 s, one preview with a neighbour beside it. Not a page-level CLS.
Every row is read from the shipped CSS. Only a figure marked measured came from a browser. Customizing the speed changes the timing, so recheck a customized copy. How it is computed
