W Auto Page Pre Loader shows a clean loading animation or your custom image before the page becomes visible. This prevents the blank-screen moment users often experience during load time. The plugin is lightweight, responsive, and works with all modern WordPress themes.<\/p>\n\n

You can customize the loader image, size, duration, background color or background image, and preview everything directly from the admin panel. The loader fades out smoothly once the page is ready, ensuring a polished experience on both desktop and mobile.<\/p>\n\n

      Can I hide the preloader on specific pages?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      The current version works site-wide. Page-level control may be added in future versions.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Can I disable the preloader for admins or members while keeping it for visitors?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Yes. Enable the \"Hide For Logged-in Users\" option in the plugin settings to skip the preloader for any signed-in user.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Can I show the preloader only once per visit?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Yes. Enable \"Show Once Per Session\" to show it once during the visitor's browser session.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Can I skip the preloader on mobile?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Yes. Enable \"Hide On Mobile\" to keep mobile browsing faster.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      What happens if both background color and background image are enabled?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      The background image becomes the primary background. The color is ignored when an image is selected.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Does this slow down the site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      No. The plugin uses optimized CSS and JavaScript and removes itself as soon as the page is ready.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
