In my opinion this is the best plugin to use for a pre loading page on your website. Especially the function to use a custom video (such as a gif) is quite unique.

This plugin does the job, but I had some weird behavior in the website when activated. This plugin deactivated the function target=_blank for links. The buttons with target=_blank, on click, the link doesn’t open in a new tab anymore, it opens in the same. I have another plugin with email notifications. I also use Divi. This plugin stopped the sending of notifications. It took me a while to find out why my notifications weren’t send anymore. I don’t recommend this plugin.
