 * I have disabled the preloader for our website. But I was wondering if the preloader
   was powered by javascript. If it is, can the java script be completely removed?
   if so, which script should be deleted? Also, does a disabled preloader have any
   adverse effect on page speed (in theory or actuality)?

 * it is javascript yes.
    Removing it completely from the theme would require advanced
   coding modifications.
 * It’s a very lightweight script (2.7KB). It won’t affect your page speed at all
   if you just disabled it.
