@media (prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference) {
    :target {
        animation: wpide-target-flash 2s ease-out 1;
    }
}

@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
    :target {
        outline: 2px solid currentColor;
        outline-offset: 4px;
    }
}

@keyframes wpide-target-flash {
    0%,
    30% {
        background-color: rgba(253, 230, 138, 0.8);
        box-shadow: 0 0 0 6px rgba(253, 230, 138, 0.8);
    }

    100% {
        background-color: transparent;
        box-shadow: 0 0 0 6px transparent;
    }
}

Notes

Change the highlight color in the keyframes. Visitors who prefer reduced motion get a static outline instead.
