Yes. Dark Reader uses CSS custom properties to apply dark mode without modifying your theme files. It works with all major themes — Divi, Avada, Astra, GeneratePress, and more.

No. The dark mode system is entirely CSS-variable-based. The JavaScript payload is under 4 KB gzipped and deferred so it never blocks page rendering.

Yes. Dark Reader stores the visitor's preference in localStorage so their choice persists across sessions without needing cookies or a login.

Yes. Dark Reader includes an admin panel dark mode that applies to the entire WordPress backend, not just the frontend.

You can set fixed on/off hours or enable automatic sunrise/sunset switching based on the visitor's browser-detected time zone. No server-side location tracking is used.

Yes. Dark Reader is fully compatible with WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, and all major caching solutions. No configuration changes are needed.

Yes. You get full control over background, text, link, and accent colors, plus per-element overrides so the dark palette matches your brand exactly.

Bright images are intelligently dimmed to reduce glare while media stays legible. You can also exclude specific images or elements from dark-mode treatment.

Yes. A customizable floating toggle lets visitors switch between light and dark on demand — you control its position, size, icon, and colors.

Yes. Dark mode reduces eye strain in low light, and the contrast is tuned toward WCAG AA readability for a more comfortable, inclusive experience.
