Ajax loading enables faster and more seamless page transitions in specific version 7.0 templates by loading only essential content when navigating between pages.

When Ajax loading is active, static elements like headers and footers remain in place while new content loads, creating a smoother user experience, particularly beneficial for content-heavy pages like blogs and galleries.
