How Do I Create a Custom Preloader Screen on Wix?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 10:11 am

Preloading is the process of loading assets before they are needed. By preloading assets, you can improve the performance of your website by making sure that the assets are ready to be used when the user needs them.

There are many ways to preload assets, but one of the most effective ways is to use a custom preloader screen. A custom preloader screen allows you to control how your assets are loaded and gives you the ability to provide feedback to the user while the assets are being loaded.

GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

Creating a custom preloader screen is not difficult, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First, you need to decide what kind of feedback you want to provide to the user. This can be something as simple as a progress bar or something more elaborate like an animation.

PRO TIP: The Wix preloader screen is a great way to keep your visitors engaged while they wait for your website to load. However, if you’re not careful, it can also be a great way to lose visitors.

If you’re not familiar with coding, then you may want to avoid creating a custom preloader screen on Wix. Unless you know what you’re doing, it’s very easy to make mistakes that will result in your website taking longer to load, or not loading at all.

If you do decide to create a custom preloader screen on Wix, be sure to test it thoroughly before making it live. Make sure that all the elements on your page are loading correctly, and that there are no delays. Otherwise, you risk losing visitors before they even get a chance to see your website.

Once you’ve decided on the feedback, you need to create the HTML for the preloader screen. This HTML should include the feedback element as well as a stylesheet that contains the styles for the preloader screen.

Finally, you need to add a bit of JavaScript to your website that will display the preloader screen when the website is first loaded. This JavaScript should hide the preloader screen once all of the assets have been loaded.

Creating a custom preloader screen is a great way to improve the performance of your website and give your users some feedback while they wait for the website to load.
