How To Create An Elementor Preloader On WordPress

The preloader is something you might want to add to your WordPress site. It is an animation that shows how long it will take for a page to load in the background. Preloaders let people know that the website is working on loading the page to see what is going on. This can make the user experience better and cut down on the number of people who leave.

Elementor has now released its new preloader option. Suppose you want the best optimization and don't want your entire WordPress site to slow down merely to handle your preloader. In that case, you should follow this tutorial to learn how to create an Elementor Preloader on WordPress.

How To Create An Elementor Preloader

To begin, choose an SVG or GIF that you like, ideally one that is small in size. Preloaders is a wonderful place to look for free and basic SVG loaders.

To include the Elementor preloader, build a New Section at the very top of the page. Set the No Gap option for this section. You may create a New Section in the Header Template to include a preloader on every page of your website.

Finally, add the following code to an HTML element in this section.

Make sure to change the URL for the loader with the URL for your website.

<div class="vanilla-preloader" ></div>
<script>
   document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
      let loader = document.querySelector('.vanilla-preloader');
   		loader.style.opacity = 0;
   		loader.addEventListener('transitionend', () => loader.remove());
   	 });
</script>
<style>
.vanilla-preloader {
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
z-index: 9999;
pointer-events:none;
background: url('/wp-content/uploads/images/loader.svg') 50% 50% no-repeat #fff; /* Change the #fff here to your background color of choice for the preloader fullscreen section */
}
.elementor-editor-active .vanilla-preloader {
display: none;
}
</style>
