Key Features

• Loading Icons: Choose from 10 included animated icons. Position the icon anywhere on screen and freely adjust speed, size, and colors. Add blur and fade effects, or hide the icon entirely if you prefer a minimal look.
• Loading Image: Upload your own image or enter an image URL. Position it anywhere, add a pulsating animation with controllable speed, and apply blur or fade effects.
• Background Customization: Set a solid background color or upload a background image. Customize transparency for a subtle overlay effect. Add a secondary background color for fade animations with full speed control.
• Progress Bar: Place the progress bar anywhere on screen. Adjust width, thickness, and roundness, or display it full screen. Choose solid or gradient colors for both the bar and its background. Optionally disable on touch devices or show only the progress bar by hiding all other elements.
• Loading Messages: Add up to 3 rotating text messages that display randomly on each page load. Customize font size, color, and use your theme font for seamless integration.
• Closed Function Protection: If the page takes too long to load, a helpful message with a close button appears automatically. This protects visitors from being stuck on an unresponsive page caused by third-party embedded content. Customize appearance time, text, and color.
• Post-Load Content Animation: Animate your website content after the loading screen disappears. Apply animations to the entire site or target specific elements like blog post titles and content. Control animation speed, direction, distance, scale, and opacity.
• Additional Options: Use the included unstyled widget location to display anything you want on the loading screen. Show the loader only once per browser session, set a custom delay before it disappears, disable the uploader on specific posts or pages, and choose to show the loading screen only on touch devices or exclusively on the home page.
