This prevents the blank-screen moment users often experience during load time. The plugin is lightweight, responsive, and works with all modern WordPress themes. 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. ### Features 1. Simple enable or disable control. 2. Upload a custom logo or loader image. 3. Adjustable loader width and height. 4. Duration control for fade-out timing. 5. Background color and background image support. 6. Background size and position settings. 7. Smooth fade-out animation. 8. Responsive design for all devices. 9. Live preview in settings. 10. Option to hide the preloader for logged-in users. 11. Show the preloader only once per browser session. 12. Option to hide the preloader on mobile devices. 13. Display delay setting to prevent flashing on fast-loading pages. 14. Exclude selected URL paths from the preloader. 15. Respect reduced-motion visitor preferences. 16. Customize spinner color, overlay opacity, fade duration, and z-index. 17. Lock scrolling while active, expose ARIA status, and allow Escape-key dismissal. ## Screenshots * [[ * Settings panel with live preview. * [[ * Loader with custom logo. ## Installation 1.

Page-level control may be added in future versions. ### Can I disable the preloader for admins or members while keeping it for visitors? Yes. Enable the “Hide For Logged-in Users” option in the plugin settings to skip the preloader for any signed-in user. ### Can I show the preloader only once per visit? Yes. Enable “Show Once Per Session” to show it once during the visitor’s browser session. ### Can I skip the preloader on mobile? Yes. Enable “Hide On Mobile” to keep mobile browsing faster. ### What happens if both background color and background image are enabled? The background image becomes the primary background.
