What Is Disable Laser Loader in the Bricks Builder
Disable Laser Loader in the Bricks Builder is an option in the Classic Monks Interface tab, Laser Loader subtab. When the laser loader is enabled and you are editing a page in the Bricks Builder, the progress bar can appear and interfere with the visual editor. This toggle stops the laser loader from showing while you work in the Bricks Builder, while leaving it active for visitors on the frontend.
Recommendations Before Using
- Enable the laser loader first. This option only works when Enable Laser Loader is on, so turn the laser loader on before you use it.
- Understand the scope. The toggle affects only the Bricks Builder editor, not the frontend. Visitors still see the progress bar.
- Test in the editor. After enabling, open the Bricks Builder to confirm the laser loader no longer appears while you edit.

Design without the progress bar interrupting

Test the laser loader only on the frontend
A developer wants to verify the laser loader behavior without it interfering in the editor. They disable it in the Bricks Builder and check the frontend. The progress bar works for visitors and stays out of the way during editing.
Keep the laser loader for the live site
A site uses a laser loader for a modern loading experience, but the developer does not want the progress bar while editing. They disable it in the Bricks Builder. The live site keeps the progress bar, and the editor stays clean for the developer.
