## Descrizione

**KineticHub Page Loader** is a lightweight preloader plugin that displays a branded
loading screen while your WordPress site is being rendered. Instead of a blank white
page, your visitors see a polished splash screen with your logo, site name, or tagline,
an optional animated loading ring (spinner), and a smooth loading animation — then
the preloader cleanly fades out and removes itself from the DOM once the page is
ready.

The preloader is designed to improve the **perceived first impression** of your 
site. It does not improve server response time or actual page speed — it replaces
the unstyled flash of a loading page with intentional branding.

The loading screen is built with CSS-first animations, vanilla JavaScript, and zero
external dependencies: no jQuery, no external fonts, no CDN assets, no remote requests.
It ships with display rules for audience targeting, show frequency, and exclusions
for specific pages, URL paths, and WooCommerce pages. It respects `prefers-reduced-
motion`, cleans up after itself, and is safe to use alongside caching plugins.

#### Why use a preloader?

 * Replace the blank white screen during page load with a **branded splash screen**
 * Reinforce your brand with a **logo loading screen** on every first visit
 * Give slow or asset-heavy pages a **polished loading animation** instead of a 
   half-rendered layout
 * Keep full control: show the preloader site-wide, only on the homepage, only to
   visitors, or only once per session or per day

#### Key highlights

 * **7 CSS-only loader presets** — from a minimal pulse to gradient sweeps and circular
   brand rings
 * **Logo loading screen** — upload your logo via the media library, with text and
   tagline fallbacks
 * **Animated loading ring (spinner)** — solid, dashed, dual, or glow styles with
   color, speed, and thickness controls
 * **Logo effects and shapes** — fade, grayscale reveal, soft scale; original, rounded,
   or circular frame
 * **Display rules** — visitors only, site-wide or homepage only, excluded post/
   page IDs, excluded URL paths
 * **Show frequency** — every page load, once per session, or once per day, with
   no-flash suppression
 * **WooCommerce-safe** — optionally exclude the loading screen on cart, checkout,
   and account pages
 * **Lightweight and dependency-free** — no jQuery, no external fonts, no CDN assets,
   no remote requests
 * **Accessible by design** — respects `prefers-reduced-motion`, no focus trap, `
   aria-hidden` overlay, removed from the DOM after hiding
 * **Always fails safe** — a maximum timeout guarantees the preloader disappears
   even if a resource never loads
 * **Compatible** with classic themes, block themes, page builders, caching plugins,
   and WooCommerce

### Features

 * **Enable / disable** the preloader from the settings screen
 * **Display on:** entire site or homepage only
 * **Audience:** everyone, or visitors only (hides the loading screen for logged-
   in users)
 * **Show frequency:** every page load, once per session, or once per day
 * **Excluded post/page IDs:** suppress the preloader on specific posts or pages
   by ID
 * **Excluded URL paths:** suppress the preloader on specific URL paths
 * **WooCommerce exclusions:** optionally exclude cart, checkout, and account pages
   when WooCommerce is active
 * **Logo:** upload via the WordPress media library
 * **Text fallback:** shown when no logo is set; falls back to the site name if 
   empty
 * **Tagline:** optional short line displayed beneath the logo or text
 * **Logo effects:** fade in, grayscale reveal, or soft scale entrance animation
 * **Logo shapes:** original, rounded corners, or circular logo frame
 * **Loading ring:** animated spinner ring around the logo with solid, dashed, dual,
   or glow styles; adjustable color, thickness, and speed
 * **Seven animation presets:** each is a CSS-only visual effect with no JavaScript
   dependency
 * **Colors:** background, accent, and text colors with optional gradient background
 * **Timing controls:** minimum display time, maximum timeout, and fade-out duration
 * **Visibility:** independently enable or disable the loading screen on desktop
   and mobile

### Included Loader Styles

 1. **Minimal Pulse** — Content breathes gently while an accent dot pulses below
 2. **Logo Fade** — Content rises and fades in; a pulsing accent line signals loading
 3. **Gradient Sweep** — An animated gradient flows across the background
 4. **Soft Orb** — A radial glow breathes behind the logo and content
 5. **Progress Bar Minimal** — A thin bar advances across the top as the loader waits
 6. **Circular Brand Ring** — Logo displayed in a circle with two counter-rotating 
    accent rings
 7. **Logo Color Reveal** — Logo animates from grayscale to full color as the loader
    displays

All presets automatically collapse to an instant transition when `prefers-reduced-
motion: reduce` is detected.

## Installazione

 1. Upload the `kinetichub-page-loader` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install
    directly through the WordPress plugin directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Settings -> Page Loader** to configure your preloader.
 4. Upload your logo, choose a loading screen preset, set your colors, and save.

## FAQ

### How do I add a preloader to my WordPress site?

Install and activate KineticHub Page Loader, then go to **Settings -> Page Loader**.
Enable the loader, upload your logo (or use the text fallback), pick one of the 
7 loading screen presets, choose your colors, and save. The preloader appears on
the next front-end page load.

### Does a preloader make my website faster?

No. KineticHub Page Loader does not improve server response time or optimize assets.
It creates a branded loading layer that can improve the **perceived first impression**
of your site while the page finishes rendering in the background.

### Will the preloader hurt my Core Web Vitals or SEO?

The plugin is built to keep its footprint minimal: assets are minified, there are
no external requests, the loader logo ships with explicit dimensions, and the overlay
is fully removed from the DOM after hiding. The preloader is a visual layer on top
of your page — it does not block search engine crawlers from seeing your content.

### Can I show the loading screen only on the homepage?

Yes. Under **Display Rules** you can choose between showing the preloader on the
entire site or on the homepage only. You can also exclude specific post/page IDs
and URL paths.

### Can I show the preloader only once per visitor?

Yes. The show frequency setting supports every page load, once per session, or once
per day. In session and daily modes, a no-flash suppression mechanism prevents the
loader from briefly flashing on repeat pageviews.

### Can I use my own logo in the loading screen?

Yes. Upload any image from the WordPress media library. You can apply logo effects(
fade, grayscale reveal, soft scale), shapes (original, rounded, circle), and an 
animated loading ring around it. If no logo is set, a text fallback (defaulting 
to your site name) is displayed instead.

### Can I disable the preloader on mobile or desktop?

Yes. Desktop and mobile visibility can be toggled independently in the settings.

### Does it work with caching plugins?

Yes. The loader HTML is output server-side and cached normally. Session and daily-
limit tracking are handled entirely client-side using `sessionStorage` and `localStorage`,
so no server-side session state is needed and full-page-cache compatibility is maintained.

### Does it work with Elementor, Divi, and other page builders?

Yes. The preloader is theme-agnostic: it overlays the finished page using the standard`
wp_body_open` hook (with a `wp_footer` fallback), so it works with any theme or 
page builder that renders normal front-end pages. It does not modify your builder
content.

### Does it work with block themes?

Yes. The loader uses the `wp_body_open` action that all modern themes call. A `wp_footer`
fallback is included for themes that do not call `wp_body_open`.

### Does it support WooCommerce?

Yes. You can exclude the loading screen from WooCommerce cart, checkout, and account
pages using the **Exclude WooCommerce Pages** toggle in the Display Rules settings.
WooCommerce does not need to be installed for the plugin to work; the exclusion 
is applied only when WooCommerce is active.

### Does it use jQuery?

No. The frontend script is plain vanilla JavaScript with no library dependencies,
no external fonts, and no CDN or remote requests.

### What happens if JavaScript is disabled?

A `<noscript>` style block is output in `<head>` that hides the loader immediately.
Visitors with JavaScript disabled see the page normally without any blocked overlay.

### Does it respect reduced motion settings?

Yes. When the visitor’s operating system or browser reports `prefers-reduced-motion:
reduce`, all animations are collapsed to an instant transition and the minimum display
time is effectively bypassed, so the preloader disappears as quickly as possible.

### What is the “maximum timeout” setting?

It is a safety net. If a third-party resource (script, font, image) never finishes
loading and the browser `load` event never fires, the maximum timeout ensures the
loading screen is removed anyway, preventing it from blocking the page indefinitely.

### Is the loader accessible?

The loader uses `aria-hidden="true"` so screen readers skip it. There is no focus
trap — keyboard focus stays on the page below. The loader is fully removed from 
the DOM after hiding, leaving no residual impact on the accessibility tree.

### Can I remove the preloader on specific pages?

Yes. Use **Excluded post/page IDs** for individual posts or pages, **Excluded URL
paths** for path-based rules, and the WooCommerce toggle for cart, checkout, and
account pages.

## Changelog

#### 1.3.0

 * Added: Tagline Spacing setting (0-50 px) in the Content section, controlling 
   the space between the logo/text and the tagline. Default 0 preserves the existing
   look.
 * Added: a one-time review request shown only on the plugin’s own settings page,
   at least 10 days after installation, permanently dismissible.
 * Added: a small card on the settings page introducing KineticHub – Animated Blocks,
   shown only when it is not already installed.
 * Fixed: with no logo set, the circle shape and the Circular Brand Ring preset 
   reserved empty space the size of the configured logo width above the tagline.
 * Fixed: ring decorations are no longer rendered around the text fallback when 
   no logo is set, where they displayed as stretched ellipses.
 * Improved: ring options are now visually disabled with an explanatory note while
   the Circular Brand Ring preset is selected, since that preset draws its own built-
   in rings. Saved ring settings are preserved while disabled.
 * Improved: the settings sidebar (preview and info card) now sticks as one block
   and scrolls internally on short screens.

#### 1.2.0

 * Performance: distributed CSS and JavaScript files are now minified via an automated
   build step.
 * Performance: the loader logo now ships with `width`/`height` and `fetchpriority
   ="high"` to reduce its impact on Largest Contentful Paint (LCP).
 * Performance: for “Once per session” and “Once per day” frequency, the logo image
   is no longer downloaded at all on pageviews where the loader has already been
   shown – only the loader markup itself was suppressed before.
 * Performance: the Progress Bar Minimal preset now animates with `transform` instead
   of `width`, avoiding unnecessary layout recalculation while the bar advances.
 * Internal: settings and display-eligibility checks are now computed once per request
   instead of being recalculated on every output hook.

#### 1.1.1

 * Fixed loader removal reliability when cache or performance plugins delay frontend
   JavaScript.
 * Hardened maximum timeout behavior so the loader cannot remain visible indefinitely
   on optimized pages.

#### 1.1.0

 * Added display rules: visitors-only loading, once-per-day frequency, excluded 
   post/page IDs, excluded URL paths, and WooCommerce page exclusions.
 * Added no-flash suppression for once-per-session and once-per-day display modes.
 * Added logo effects (fade, grayscale reveal, soft scale), logo shape controls (
   rounded, circle), and loading ring options (solid, dashed, dual, glow).
 * Added two new loader presets: Circular Brand Ring and Logo Color Reveal.
 * Improved preset visual quality, reduced-motion handling, ring and shape compatibility,
   and admin UI usability.

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial release.
 * Added lightweight page loader with five CSS-first animation presets.
 * Added logo upload, text fallback, and optional tagline.
 * Added background, accent, and text color controls with optional gradient.
 * Added minimum display time, maximum timeout, and fade-out duration controls.
 * Added once-per-session display option.
 * Added desktop and mobile visibility controls.
 * Added maximum timeout safety net to prevent indefinite blocking.
 * Added `prefers-reduced-motion` support.
 * Added noscript fallback to hide loader for JavaScript-disabled visitors.
 * Added `wp_footer` fallback output for themes without `wp_body_open` support.
