Key Benefits & Performance
-
Lightweight & Fast: Built with vanilla JavaScript on the frontend. It requires zero jQuery dependency to ensure optimal site speed and performance.
-
Accessibility First: Features accessible overlay states using ARIA attributes (including role=”status” and aria-busy=”true”) to ensure seamless compatibility with screen readers. It also includes built-in reduced-motion support for visitors whose browser or operating system is configured to reduce animation.
-
Live Interactive Preview: Test and refine your spinner appearance in real time. You can view visual state changes directly within the clean WordPress admin settings screen.
-
Enterprise-Grade Security: Utilizes a narrow spinner HTML allowlist and centralized settings normalization. It exports frontend configuration through encoded inline script data instead of misusing localization patterns, ensuring complete output safety and debugging protection.
Complete Feature Overview
-
32 Unique Spinner Styles: Choose from a diverse library of responsive loaders. Styles are organized into 8 distinct categories: Classic, Dots, Bars, Shapes, Animated, Text, Colorful, and Indicators.
-
Total Visual Customization: Easily adjust primary and secondary colors to match your brand identity. Control spinner sizing from 16px up to 240px, and fine-tune overlay opacity and backdrop blur effects.
-
Precision Timing Controls: Set minimum display times to prevent unnatural visual flashing on fast page transitions. You can also customize the overlay fade-out speed from instant cuts to slower, smooth animations.
-
Z-Index Management: Easily resolve visual stacking conflicts with theme elements or sticky headers using dedicated Z-index controls.
-
Works With Your Workflow: Compatible with most standard WordPress themes and popular page builders. The frontend script automatically avoids running inside iframe-based editing contexts to prevent interference with visual editors.
Smart Exclusions & Safeguards
-
Automatic Link & File Detection: Automatically ignores common file downloads, including PDFs, ZIPs, images, audio, video, and office documents. It also safely skips email links, phone links, same-page hash links, and links that open in a new tab.
-
WooCommerce Protection: Includes built-in safeguards for WooCommerce cart, checkout, and account pages. This prevents unwanted conflicts with cart fragments, dynamic checkout updates, and user account interactions.
-
Custom Exclusion Rules: Exclude specific links by adding the no-cps-spinner CSS class to any anchor tag. You can also target link groups using custom CSS selectors or exclude entire page paths by listing URL paths in the settings.
-
Conditional Display Options: Choose whether to show or hide loading overlays on external outbound links. You also gain full toggle control over standard form submissions and WordPress admin bar links for logged-in users.
