What it does
Visitors often see a blank or half-built page while content loads. A preloader covers that moment with a loading screen of your choosing. This plugin gives you several ways to build that screen: a text loading animation, 29 ready-to-use animated GIFs, or a custom image of your own, such as your logo, with 5 CSS3 image animation options. You can also add 32 CSS3 page transitions, an animated loading bar and a percentage counter so visitors can see progress.
Setup happens in the plugin settings, so you can adjust colors and font sizes without writing code, and those sizes adapt to different screens. You decide where the animation appears: the homepage, archive pages, selected post types, or any specific page through a shortcode. A skip loading link lets visitors bypass the preloader if they prefer. Scripts load only when the preloader is enabled, which keeps it out of the way on pages where you don't use it.
Best for
- Brand-focused sites that want a logo-based loading screen
- Portfolio and creative sites wanting animated page transitions
- Freelancers adding preloaders to client sites without coding

Questions about DV Loading
Can I use my own logo as the loading animation?
Yes. The plugin has a custom loading image option, so you can upload your own image. You can then apply one of 5 CSS3 image animation options to it, which helps the preloader match the rest of your branding.
Do I have to show the preloader on every page?
No. Placement settings let you choose the homepage, archive pages or selected post types. You can also add the animation to any specific page with a shortcode, so it only appears where you want it.
Can visitors skip the loading screen?
Yes. You can enable a skip loading link that lets visitors bypass the preloader and move straight to the page content. This is useful for returning visitors or anyone who prefers not to wait for the animation.
Do I need to know CSS to customize it?
No coding is required. Colors, font sizes, animations, transitions and placement are all set from the plugin settings. The CSS3 effects come built in, so you choose them from the options rather than writing styles yourself.
