Ajax loads pages faster in version 7.0 templates by keeping elements like headers and footers loaded while only updating content that changes between pages.

Supported Template Families:

  • Brine
  • Farro
  • Skye (Blog landing page only)
  • Tremont
  • York

Enabling/Disabling Ajax:

  • Enabled by default for visitors
  • Can be disabled in site styles except for:
    • Skye family (cannot be disabled)
    • Farro family blog landing page (always uses Ajax)

To Toggle Ajax:

  1. Open Site styles panel
  2. Search for "Enable Ajax loading"
  3. Check/uncheck the option

Note: Ajax is always disabled for logged-in contributors to ensure proper editing functionality.

Loading Bar Features:

  • Available in Brine and Farro templates
  • Shows content loading progress at the top of page
  • Can be customized or hidden through Site styles:
    1. Go to "Site: loading" section
    2. Uncheck "Show loading bar"
    3. Adjust Width and Color as needed

Common Ajax Conflicts:

  • Custom code
  • Code-based customizations
  • Anchor links
  • URL redirects
  • Site analytics (only logs first page hits)
