This plugin finds every GIF animation in your posts and replace it to a preview image. Doesn’t matter the GIF embedded from another website or use WordPress’s static thumbnail. It automatically generates the preview image from the first frame of the animation and save it to the post’s media directory with <code>-gap.jpg</code> suffix.
Posts show the pregenareted small size jpeg file first, your visitors don’t need to wait for download the huge animation. Play animation after they click on the image or after your whole page has downloaded. It depends on your setting:
<ul>
<li>You are able to stop animations everywhere</li>
<li>Or start animation automatically only inside a post</li>
<li>Or start the moves everywhere by default, use this plugin for lazyload</li>
</ul>
There are additional settings:
<ul>
<li>Pretty smooth effect between your preview and animation</li>
<li>Start animations with your mouse</li>
<li>Work with metadata and preview</li>
<li>Disable on certain images with <code>nogap</code> class</li>
</ul>
Don’t worry, delete this plugin will remove all settings from your database. Generated preview images gonna stay there, you can use them everywhere until you delete them manually.

AI preloader is a tool that displays an animation or loading screen while a website’s content is being loaded. This loading animation or screen can give visitors the impression that the website is actively loading and prevent them from leaving the website due to a slow loading speed.
The preloader plugin works by detecting when the website is being loaded and displaying the animation or screen until the entire website content is fully loaded. This can help improve user experience by reducing the frustration and annoyance caused by long load times.
In addition to the basic function of displaying a loading animation, many preloader plugins offer additional customization options such as selecting the animation style or adding a logo or custom message to the loading screen.
Overall, AI Preloader WordPress plugin can help improve the user experience of your website by providing a visually appealing loading animation or screen while the content is being loaded, making the site seem more professional and engaging.
