Ajax loading in version 7.0 improves page navigation speed and performance by selectively loading only necessary content. This feature is particularly beneficial for content-heavy pages like blogs and galleries.

How Ajax Loading Works

When enabled, static elements like headers and footers remain loaded while only page-specific content updates during navigation. This significantly reduces loading times and creates a smoother browsing experience.

Supported Templates

Ajax loading is available in these template families:

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

Managing Ajax Settings

Ajax is enabled by default for visitors. To adjust Ajax settings:

1. Open Site Styles panel
2. Locate "Enable Ajax Loading"
3. Select or deselect the option

Important Notes:

• Cannot be disabled in Skye family
• Remains active on Farro family blog landing pages
• Automatically disabled for logged-in collaborators
• May conflict with custom code, anchor links, and URL redirects
• Can affect site analytics tracking

Loading Bar Customization

Templates with loading bar support:

• Brine
• Farro

To customize the loading bar:

1. Access Site Styles panel
2. Navigate to "Site: Loading"
3. Adjust visibility, width, and color settings

Recommended Usage

Keep Ajax loading enabled when possible for optimal site performance, unless you experience specific conflicts with custom functionality or analytics requirements.

Note: Ajax enhances visitor experience but requires testing with any custom implementations to ensure compatibility.
