Ajax loading in version 7.0 enables faster, smoother page navigation by keeping elements like headers and footers loaded while updating only necessary content. This asynchronous loading is particularly beneficial for content-rich pages like blogs and galleries.

Supported Templates:

• Brine
• Farro
• Skye (Blog Landing Page Only)
• Tremont
• York

Key Features:

• Enabled by default for visitors
• Reduces load times by maintaining static elements
• Provides smoother browsing experience
• Includes customizable loading bar (Brine and Farro families)

Important Considerations:

• May conflict with custom code and anchor links
• Could affect site analytics tracking
• Always disabled for logged-in collaborators
• Cannot be disabled for Skye family
• Remains active on Farro blog landing pages regardless of settings

Managing Ajax Settings:

1. Open Site Styles panel
2. Locate "Enable Ajax Loading" tweak
3. Select or deselect as needed

Customizing Loading Bar:

1. Access Site Styles panel
2. Navigate to "Site: Loading"
3. Adjust visibility, width, and color preferences
4. Use "Show Loading Bar" toggle to hide/show

Best Practices:

• Keep Ajax enabled if template supports it
• Test functionality with any custom code
• Monitor analytics implementation
• Adjust loading bar settings for optimal user experience

This feature significantly improves site performance and user experience when implemented correctly, making it a valuable tool for content-rich websites.
