By showing a structural preview of your content before it fully loads, you reduce the bounce rate and provide a much smoother user experience (UX) that feels faster. #### Key Features: 4 Professional Layouts: Choose between Classic (Blog), Ecommerce (Grid), Minimal( Text), or Hero (Image) styles. Smart Interaction Detection: The loader automatically disappears as soon as a user starts scrolling or clicking. Custom Branding: Upload your own logo to appear centered during the loading process with a subtle pulse animation. Auto Dark Mode: Detects the visitor’s system settings and adapts the colors automatically. Exit Animations: Choose between a smooth Fade Out or a professional Slide Up (Curtain) effect. Admin Bypass: Option to hide the loader for logged-in administrators to ensure a fast workflow. #### Pro Features: Post Type Exclusions: Disable the loader for specific content types (e.g., only show on Products, hide on Portfolio). Page-Specific Exclusions: Hand-pick individual pages where the loader should never appear (perfect for Landing Pages or Checkouts). Premium Support: Faster response times and technical assistance. ## Installation Upload the uplink7-skeleton-loader folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. Navigate to ‘Settings > Uplink7 Loader’ to configure your design. (Optional) Connect with Freemius to unlock Pro features. ## FAQ ### Does it affect my SEO? No. The loader is a visual overlay that disappears once the page is ready. It does not hide content from search engines. ### Can I change the colors? Yes! You can fully customize the background color and the shimmer (bar) color to match your brand identity. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Uplink7 Skeleton Loader” is open source software.
