# Preloader

The preloader is an animation when loading the page. This fades the often unattractive structure of the page to the viewer with a small animation. The store logo can also be integrated here in an animated way.

**Display (1)** allows you to choose to display the animation on every page or only when the home page is loaded. In addition to background and color, there is a possibility to set a **hide animation (3)** to animate the hiding of the preloader.

**Timeout (4)** specifies the time in milliseconds how long the preloader is at least visible. Otherwise, with very short loading times, the preloader may only flare up briefly.
