What are the potential pitfalls of using Flash on a WordPress website for animations?

Using Flash on a WordPress website for animations can lead to compatibility issues with mobile devices and slower loading times. To avoid these pitfalls, consider using HTML5 and CSS animations instead.

// Example code for implementing HTML5 and CSS animations in WordPress
<div class="animation">
    <img src="image.jpg" alt="Animation">
</div>

<style>
.animation {
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    background-color: #f00;
    animation: myanimation 2s infinite;
}

@keyframes myanimation {
    0% { transform: scale(1); }
    50% { transform: scale(1.2); }
    100% { transform: scale(1); }
}
</style>
