Hello, This is a built-in feature we added at a certain version. You can see this on our ChangeLog, since the version 6.6, our developers implemented these placeholders (loaders) during table and chart loading.
In short, any time a table ( or chart) takes a bit longer to load, this 'loader' animation will show on the Page until it's ready/loaded.
For now, there is no way for users to edit/change this feature, it is automatically added to each table and chart.
This 'loader animation/image' will take up the same space which your table will take when it loads on the page.
Here is an example of how the loader looks.
That is what the users see on the page before the table appears.
If you don't like this Loader - we added a global option to disable it for all tables, in the Main Plugin settings/Loader visibility :
2. We have an older option which serves a similar purpose, for each table in the Display settings, for example, you can toggle "Hide until loaded" to prevent any data flashing while the table is loading :
Let me know if that clarifies it and if you have any additional questions. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback. The idea for the loader animation actually stemmed from a significant number of user requests. Many of our users work with very large tables that take time to load, and they wanted a way to clearly indicate that the table is being prepared for display. The loader animation helps ensure a smoother user experience by signalling that the table is in progress.
We understand that not all users may prefer this feature, which is why we included a straightforward global option in the Main Plugin settings to disable all loaders easily for tables and charts.
If you have any additional questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. We’re always here to help.
