Frequently asked questions
Does the plugin slow down my site?
No. The plugin enqueues one tiny CSS file and one tiny JS file (each under 2 KB), uses a passive scroll listener, and throttles updates with requestAnimationFrame. There are no external HTTP requests.
Which pages show the progress bar?
By default the bar appears on all public-facing pages. It is automatically hidden in the admin area, feeds, embeds, and REST API responses.
Is the plugin compatible with block themes and FSE?
Yes. The plugin hooks into wp_body_open for modern themes, with an automatic fallback via the_content for older themes that do not call that hook.
Does it work with page builders?
Yes — the bar is injected into the page regardless of which page builder you use, as long as the theme properly calls WordPress template hooks.
Will my data be deleted if I uninstall the plugin?
Yes. All plugin settings are removed from the database when you delete (not just deactivate) the plugin. This works on both single-site and multisite installs.
