# WordPress Frontend Loader

![](https://github.com/zerosonesfun/wordpress-frontend-loader/blob/main/fel-icon.jpeg)

A loading spinner for WordPress which senses ajax requests, link clicks, and page loads. This gives your WordPress powered website native app-like power. It ignores the WordPress heartbeat because otherwise the spinner will pop up many times.

## But, why jQuery?

jQuery will start to become smaller starting with version 4.0. jQuery is an easy way to work with Ajax; this is why a chunk of jQuery is used. Many WordPress plugins use jQuery.

## But, the spinner shows too much!

There are two sections at the beginning of the js file where you can add element selectors so that either clicks and/or Ajax related to those elements do not trigger the spinner.

## To do
- Add settings page so that the user can enter what to ignore there versus directly within the JS file
- Add other WordPress requirements such as the readme.txt
- Adjust to ensure approval for WordPress repository
