Why You Need It
Preloading can interfere with admin workflows (e.g., page editing, debugging). Disabling it for admins ensures they see the page as-is.

Click into the Classic Monks plugin settings, then the Performance tab, Monks Preloading subtab.
Step 2: Enable the Feature

Step 3: Save and Test

Common Use Cases
Admin debugging
When debugging page behavior, preloading can interfere. Disabling it for admins ensures accurate debugging.
Content editing
When editing content, admins need to see the page without preloading artifacts.

Cause: Another plugin depends on the functionality that this feature disables.
Fix: Disable this feature if it breaks another plugin.
Before you enable this feature
- Test on staging first to verify no conflicts with your theme or other plugins
- Check dependent plugins that may rely on the functionality being modified
- Monitor after enabling for any unexpected behavior on the frontend
How it works under the feature
This feature runs during the WordPress initialization phase. When enabled, its PHP code registers hooks that modify specific WordPress behaviors. The changes are non-destructive and reversible.
No database schema changes are made. The feature state is stored as a boolean value in the wp_options table and can be toggled at any time from the admin settings.
