Laser Loader - Stylish Progress Bar Preloader

Visitors often wonder whether a page is still loading or has stalled. This plugin answers that with a slim bar that fills as the page loads, giving a clear visual cue during page transitions. The design follows the style of loaders seen on sites like YouTube and Medium, so it feels familiar to most people.

The plugin detects loading progress automatically, so there is nothing to configure for the bar to reflect page status. You can then adjust its position, colors and animation easing, and add custom CSS to match your branding. Its file size is only 4.9 KiB, and it works on right-to-left sites and retina screens.

Features

• Top or bottom placement: Choose whether the progress bar appears at the top or the bottom of the page, so it fits the layout of your site.
• Automatic progress detection: The bar reflects the actual loading status of the page without manual setup, growing as content loads.
• Trickle easing animation: Smooth easing animations create a natural trickle effect, so the bar moves in a way that looks realistic to visitors.
• Color options and custom CSS: Extensive color settings and support for custom CSS let you match the loader to your brand and adjust its look further.
• Very small file size: At just 4.9 KiB, the plugin is a small addition to your site and keeps its footprint minimal.
• Retina-ready graphics: The loader is built to look crisp on high-density screens, so the bar stays sharp across devices.
• RTL language support: Right-to-left websites are supported, including a reverse animation direction so the bar moves the way readers expect.
• Responsive across screen sizes: The progress bar adapts to different devices and screen sizes, giving visitors the same loading cue on desktop and mobile.
