This is a REAL preLOADER
by Claudiu T.·2 years ago
I tried 5-7 plugins named “Loader” or “Preloader”, but all they do is load an image/animation with a timer. These plugins I tried are all fake. When I load my page with a 3G connection (slow loading), the preloader disappears after 2-3 seconds but my image from the front page is still loading.
The LoftLoader plugin waits for the page to load fully, and then hides the preloader. Yes, it uses JS, and the conflicts with other JS code are possible, but only with CSS, this real preloader disappearing is not possible.
Thanks for the plugin!

Not CSS Only (as advertised) – Pages Hang on No Javascript

Requires Javascript to function, otherwise it is quite good.
