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

Verify It Works
After saving, verify the change:
- Open a page in the Bricks Builder and confirm the preloader does not appear.

If the preloader still appears in the editor, confirm both toggles are set correctly and the page was refreshed.
Common Use Cases
Design without the preloader interrupting
A designer builds a page in the Bricks Builder and finds the preloader flashes on every reload. They toggle on Disable Preloader inside Bricks Builder. The editor is clean and the design workflow is uninterrupted, while visitors still see the preloader.
Test the preloader only on the frontend
A developer wants to verify the preloader behavior without it interfering in the editor. They disable it in the Bricks Builder and check the frontend. The preloader works for visitors and stays out of the way during editing.
Keep the preloader for the live site
A site uses a preloader for its brand experience, but the developer does not want it to interfere while editing. They disable it in the Bricks Builder. The live site keeps its branded preloader, and the editor stays clean for the developer.
A clean editing environment for a team
A team that builds and edits pages in the Bricks Builder does not want the preloader to flash during their work. They disable it in the Bricks Builder for the whole team. The editors get a clean environment, and visitors still see the preloader on the live site.
