Deprecated DOMNodeInserted usage in eb-animation-load.js (Chrome / PageSpeed warning) #16
Description
Hello,
I’m using the Flipbox plugin on a production WordPress site and noticed a browser compatibility issue related to deprecated DOM mutation events.
Affected file
/assets/js/eb-animation-load.js (v1.3.1)
Issue
The script registers a listener for the deprecated DOMNodeInserted event.
This event has been removed from Chromium-based browsers and is no longer fired.
Chrome console / PageSpeed Insights warning:
Listener added for a 'DOMNodeInserted' mutation event. Support for this event type has been removed.
Impact
- Triggers a Best Practices warning in Google PageSpeed Insights
- Potential risk of animation initialization failures in current and future Chrome versions
Recommended fix
Replace DOMNodeInserted usage with MutationObserver, which is the officially recommended and supported API.

If needed, I can help test a patched version or provide feedback.
Thank you for maintaining the plugin.
