Remove loading Bar

Hi there,

You could hide the loading bar with some custom CSS.

To add custom CSS: Firstly activate a custom CSS plugin or, if you have Jetpack installed, activate its custom CSS module.

Enter the following snippet in the plugin’s CSS editor:

.pace {
display: none;
}

Let me know how that goes. ??

Hello,
I am afraid, it doesn’t work… A white screen turns up and after about 2 minutes the site gets displayed.

Hi there,

The CSS provided hides the loading bar but doesn’t actually have any effect on the amount of time it takes your site to load, which is why you still see the delay.

Would you be able to provide me with a link to your site? We can troubleshoot possible reasons for the relatively long load time together.

But the loading bar itself isn’t the issue. I want to analyze my website with gtmetrix, the problem is that gtmetrix doesn’t wait until the site is fully loaded. In the “website window” of gtmetrix (I hope you know what I mean) only the loading bar gets displayed, so the results are falsified.

If you want to see it yourself, just analyze my site with https://gtmetrix.com/

I thought I would solve this problem if I just remove the loading bar…

Oh, I can see what you mean! GTmetrix isn’t waiting until the site is fully loaded to display the results.

I’m afraid that there’s little we can do to help without knowledge of how GTmetrix loads gathers information from your site. You could contact GTmetrix to report the issue and discuss it further with them:

Alternatively, have you considered using another tool to analyse your site? It looks like Google’s PageSpeed tool waits for your site to fully load and will give your some more accurate results around page speed:
