Description
The Progress Loader displays an animated loading screen before the WordPress site becomes fully visible, hiding the content in construction until images, scripts, and fonts finish downloading. Designed for those who create visual portfolios, media-heavy landing pages, or product pages full of banners, the plugin replaces unfinished page flashes with an animation controlled via the admin panel, offering options for logo, background color, progress percentage, and loader style.
