I’ve selected pageload-spinner.gif to use as a preloader on my website. I haven’t yet uploaded my website to a webhost and currently testing it locally.
Preloader show up on every browser (chrome, firefox, opera) EXCEPT safari. What could be the problem here? How can i fix it?
This is well known issue in Safari.
Unfortunately I can’t explain why. Somebody on this forum can.
Also there is an issue with the double animation on Safari which could be for the same reason as the missing preloader.
Safari is known for loading things in strange ways for improved performance, but occasionally it backfires. I once had a problem with a video that refused to load if compression was turned on in cPanel when I was using CloudFlare. All other browsers worked fine.
I would add though that I’ve experienced problems in the past with Chrome when preloader was enabled and found the website would not load at all. As a result I just avoid using the preloader now and find Blocs is fast enough that it isn’t generally needed.
Not personally. If speed is an issue you could always try CloudFlare on a free package, but I can’t remember the last time I saw a slow loading website on Blocs.
