works perfectly
by amirdbest·1 year ago
The preloader works perfectly and it is actually better than other plugins I tried. The only issue is that is not updated recently and i am afraid i might run into an issue soon. Anyway will use it until it is working.
Great Plugin!
by onlinemarketingmeierijstad·2 years ago
In my opinion this is the best plugin to use for a pre loading page on your website.
Especially the function to use a custom video (such as a gif) is quite unique.
Works but not compatible with other plugin
by amaurea·2 years ago
This plugin does the job, but I had some weird behavior in the website when activated.
This plugin deactivated the function target=_blank for links. The buttons with target=_blank, on click, the link doesn’t open in a new tab anymore, it opens in the same.
I have another plugin with email notifications. I also use Divi. This plugin stopped the sending of notifications.
It took me a while to find out why my notifications weren’t send anymore. I don’t recommend this plugin.
Really great plugin
