Hi @dsdewitt,
I just checked your website and browsed multiple pages. Every page loaded correctly and quite quickly. I didn’t see any spinning icon. Could you please try checking your site in a private window or clearing your cache?
If you still face the issue, it would be great if you could share a relevant screenshot.
the spin icon keeps loading and never stops
Where is the “spin icon”?
I’ve looked round the site, but can’t see any spinning icon.
Thanks for getting back to me so quick. The spinning icon is on the browser tab.
I just did more test on the staging site and found that
it might be a plugin. Before I thought I
had all deactivated, but Woocommerce. So
I just did a select all and deactivate and it stopped spinning. So adding plugins just a couple at a time.
Now I have finished adding in slowly and found the “WPCode Lite” plugin has something to do with it.
Don’t remember what I may have used this for. Will have to look at it.
I’ll let you know what I find, or ask more questions
Looks like it has something to do with and a Microsoft Clarity tracking to the Header.
Maybe something has changed in how this was implemented. I cannot think of the last time I looked at the clarity dashboard. Might just be time to get rid of it.
Here is the code.
<!-- Microsoft Clarity tracking code for https://jdnastag.wpengine.com/ -->
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(c,l,a,r,i,t,y){
c[a]=c[a]||function(){(c[a].q=c[a].q||[]).push(arguments)};
t=l.createElement(r);t.async=1;t.src="https://www.clarity.ms/tag/"+i;
y=l.getElementsByTagName(r)[0];y.parentNode.insertBefore(t,y);
})(window, document, "clarity", "script", "xxxxxxxx");
</script>
I checked again and there’s no spining at my broswer. Please check screenshort https://prnt.sc/TmSHUULN61KT.
I timed the spinning icon and it last about 30 seconds. Took a quick screen shot video. https://youtu.be/wct9HGr2duk

The icon is an animation that the Chrome browser uses to indicate that the page is still loading. Once it has loaded, the favicon stored on the website is displayed. You cannot influence the display of the animation itself. But that’s not really what your question is about.
The animated icon indicates that the page is loading slowly or not completely. In my test, it loads completely, but for reasons unknown to me, some external requests to Clarity are blocked. Presumably, the loading process is delayed when these requests are added.
I would therefore recommend that you consider the loading time of your website and optimize it. It already performs quite well on Google’s PageSpeed, but there is still room for improvement. Take a look at this article: https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/performance/optimization/
Hello @dsdewitt, I checked again, and I believe the issue is that you might have a slow internet speed. Have you tested with a high-speed internet connection?
PS: The site is loading perfectly without that long spin on my end.
