lost.hinataParticipantSubject: Mobile display issue – Site shows only logo before loading
Hello,
I’m reaching out regarding a very problematic behavior on my EasyCHR website, which occurs only on mobile devices. When a user accesses the site through a Google Ads link (or even sometimes from a regular Google search), a strange animation appears: the screen displays only my site’s logo on a blank background for 1 to 2 seconds, and then the full page loads.
At first, I assumed it was a native Woodmart preloader, but you informed me that no such preloader is built into the theme. So, I performed the following tests:
I completely disabled LiteSpeed Cache.
I switched the theme to Storefront to see if the issue persisted.
I tested across several devices and mobile browsers.
Unfortunately, the problem remains the same, and it does not occur on desktop. It seems to be specific to mobile browsers, possibly even in-app browsers (like the one used by Google Ads, Gmail, or other mobile apps).
What’s confusing is that even when using Storefront and no caching plugin, the site continues to display this “slide” with only the logo, with no menu, no interaction, as if the page is frozen or controlled by an invisible animation.
This behavior creates a poor user experience and gives the impression that the site is broken or very slow — which negatively affects conversions.
Could you please clarify what might be causing this logo-only transition effect?
Is there any script or CSS class in Woodmart that triggers this?
Do you have a recommended method to disable all visual loading effects on mobile?I’d greatly appreciate your help. The site is live and I urgently need a reliable solution to stop this behavior.
Kind regards,

Luke NielsenKeymasterHello,
Please send a video for a better understanding of the issue, as I cannot replicate it on my end.
Thank you in advance.
Kind Regards

Luke NielsenKeymasterHello,
Is there any chance that you could give me access to the dashboard area so I can check the settings there?
Also, do you mean that the same preloader is showing on the default theme?
Looking forward to collaborating with you!
Kind Regards

lost.hinataParticipantHello Jean,
Thank you for your reply.
As mentioned in my previous messages, **it’s not possible to activate the Storefront theme on the live site**. Doing so completely breaks the layout (especially the product filters), and I already had to restore the site urgently after trying it.
**More specifically**, when I switch to Storefront and then back to the Woodmart theme, all the filter faceted widgets I placed on the left side of category pages disappear. Only the “categories” block remains — no filters are shown at all.
Please kindly take the time to review all the information I previously shared. I always try to document my tickets thoroughly, which takes me significant time. I really need all these details to be considered in full so we can make progress efficiently.

### PROBLEM OVERVIEW
– The issue only occurs when visiting **https://easychr.com from an external link** (e.g. Google Ads, WhatsApp message, Notion document, or any text link).
– **The test conditions are: mobile phone (Android), using 4G (not Wi-Fi)**.
– Instead of opening in the default mobile browser (Chrome/Safari), the site **loads in a WebView or simplified window without address bar or navigation controls**, and briefly shows a **white screen with the EasyCHR logo** (like a loader or intermediate layer).Note: **This behavior does NOT happen on the staging site** (https://laststage.easychr.com), even though it is an **exact copy of the live site** (same theme, content, plugins, setup). This strongly suggests the issue is linked to the **primary domain only (easychr.com)**.

### ADDITIONAL ABNORMAL BEHAVIOR
– Once the site is opened via this loader layer, the **burger menu becomes unresponsive** — clicking it has no effect.
– A **#
character appears at the end of the URL**, without triggering any anchor or content — likely a JS failure.
– I also noticed a recurring issue with your **HTML blocks used for category descriptions** (as recommended in your documentation). These blocks include a **“Read more” button**:
* Sometimes, the button is completely **unstyled** — instead of a green, rounded button, it appears grey and raw, as if the CSS was missing.
* Other times, the button **doesn’t respond at all**, no matter how long the page has been loaded. You can click as many times as you want, the content will never expand.I haven’t tested on multiple mobile devices yet, so I can’t confirm whether this is device-specific. But since these issues are appearing more frequently, I hope you can determine if this is a known behavior or pattern based on your experience.

### WHAT I KINDLY REQUEST
Before I run additional tests on my side, could you please:
1. Try to **reproduce this behavior** by visiting
https://easychr.com
from an external link, on **Android + 4G**, and check if the loading screen + WebView appears.
2. Investigate whether **any active layer (CDN, proxy, PWA/service worker, HTTP header, injected script, security policy, etc.)** could be responsible for:
– the unexpected loading screen with the logo,
– the WebView rendering,
– the broken navigation (burger menu and “Read more” button).—
### FINAL THOUGHT
I am not as technical as you are, but it’s possible this behavior depends on the **device, browser version, or context of entry**. Maybe this is a known compatibility issue with some setups or a particular browser context.
Still, the fact remains: **I’m facing these problems more and more frequently**, and they directly affect my visitors.
As I invest a lot in this site and run Google Ads campaigns, **my website needs to be 100% stable and predictable**.That’s why I’m asking for **a detailed technical analysis from your team**, to help me understand and resolve this as quickly as possible.
Thank you very much in advance for your support.
Best regards,
**Cédric – EasyCHR**July 29, 2025 at 5:22 pm #676900
Luke NielsenKeymasterHello,
when I switch to Storefront and then back to the Woodmart theme, all the filter faceted widgets I placed on the left side of category pages disappear. Only the “categories” block remains — no filters are shown at all.
In WordPress, widget areas (also called sidebars) are registered by your theme. The WoodMart theme, for example, includes custom widget areas such as shop filters, footers, and sidebars.
When you deactivate or switch from WoodMart to another theme, those custom widget areas no longer exist because they are defined inside the WoodMart theme code. As a result, WordPress doesn’t know where to place your widgets — so they get moved to the “Inactive Widgets” section in the Widgets panel.
This is normal WordPress behavior. Your widgets are not deleted, just unassigned.
I mentioned before, use the staging site for the testing purposes.
1. Make sure that the Preloader is disabled in Theme Settings – https://take.ms/rxEMm , then make sure that you have cleared the browser/website/server/mobile browser cache. If this option is disabled in Theme Settings, then this is a cache issue.
2. While the site is loading, the menu cannot be opened because not all necessary scripts have finished loading.
In general, use plugin for optimization like WP Rocket, https://xtemos.com/wordpress-performance-optimization-the-ultimate-guide-in-2021/#Step_4 , enable options like JS minify, CSS minify, Load JS files deferred and etc. like shown in the article I sent.
I await your response.
Kind Regards
