What it does
When a page takes a moment to load, visitors on phones or slower connections can't always tell whether anything is happening. A loading indicator gives them a clear signal that the page is on its way. This plugin handles that by detecting the page loading progress automatically and showing the percentage as a bar, with no coding needed to get it on your site.
You can style the bar with any color or a gradient so it matches your branding, and choose where on the page it appears. It is responsive and retina ready, so it looks sharp on desktops, tablets and smartphones. It works in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera and Internet Explorer. The plugin lists Elementor as a requirement, so it fits sites already built with Elementor.
Best for
- Elementor sites with heavy pages or many images
- Sites with many mobile visitors on slower connections
- Freelancers adding branded touches to client websites
