Overview
Visitors on mobile devices or slower connections often can't tell whether a page is still loading or has stalled. A progress bar answers that question at a glance. Loading Progress Bar for WordPress detects the page loading progress automatically and displays the exact loading percentage, so people know the page is working and can see how far along it is.
The plugin gives you control over how the bar looks and where it sits on the page. You can use any color or gradient to match your branding, and the bar works on desktops, tablets and smartphones, including Retina screens. It runs in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera and older Internet Explorer versions. No coding is needed to add it, which makes it easy to reuse across client projects.
