LH Navigation Listener shows a thin progress bar at the top of the screen while the next page loads, when your site is running as an installed web app. In that mode the browser hides its own address bar and loading indicator, so without it a tap on a link can look as if nothing happened.
Features
- Only appears when the site is opened as an installed app (standalone display mode); visitors in an ordinary browser tab see nothing.
- Uses the browser Navigation API where available, and clears itself on errors, in-page anchor links, downloads and back-button returns.
- Tiny footprint: one small deferred script and a few lines of inline CSS, loaded in the footer.
- Themes can recolour the bar with two CSS custom properties, or restyle or remove it entirely.
- Respects the reduced-motion preference.
Getting started
Activate the plugin. There are no settings. Your theme must call wp_body_open(), as every theme built since WordPress 5.2 does.
