AjaxPress – Instant Page Load & AJAX Navigation for WordPress

FAQ

How does AjaxPress make my WordPress site faster?

AjaxPress uses AJAX to load only the content that changes between pages. Instead of reloading CSS, JavaScript, header, and footer on every click, only the main content updates. This dramatically reduces load time, server requests, and improves Core Web Vitals.

How is AjaxPress different from Flying Pages or Quicklink?

Flying Pages and Quicklink only prefetch pages in the background. AjaxPress provides full AJAX navigation — the page never reloads at all. Content transitions smoothly without browser refresh, similar to React or Vue single-page applications. AjaxPress also includes prefetch, so you get both features.

Does AjaxPress work with WooCommerce?

Yes. AjaxPress fully supports WooCommerce including product pages, category archives, cart, and checkout. Product browsing becomes instant, improving the shopping experience and potentially increasing conversions.

Will AjaxPress work with my theme?

AjaxPress works with 99% of WordPress themes including Astra, GeneratePress, Kadence, OceanWP, and custom themes. It automatically detects your content container. If needed, you can configure custom selectors in settings.

Does it work with Elementor and page builders?

Yes. AjaxPress is fully compatible with Elementor, Elementor Pro, Divi, Beaver Builder, and Gutenberg. Scripts and styles are properly reinitialized after AJAX navigation.

Does AjaxPress affect SEO?

No. AjaxPress preserves all SEO functionality. URLs update properly via the History API, meta tags are updated for each page, and search engines crawl your site normally. Works perfectly with Yoast SEO and Rank Math.

Is AjaxPress lightweight?

Yes — AjaxPress is only 250KB, making it the lightest AJAX navigation plugin available. Built with SolidJS and zero external dependencies. No jQuery required.

Does it work with caching plugins like WP Rocket?

Yes. AjaxPress works alongside WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, Cloudflare, and other caching/CDN services without conflicts.

Can I exclude certain pages from AJAX navigation?

Yes. Exclude specific URLs, post types, or use CSS selectors to skip certain links. You can also disable AJAX navigation on mobile devices or for logged-in users.

What is link prefetch and how does it work?

Link prefetch preloads pages when users hover over links. By the time they click, the content is already loaded, making navigation feel instant. This feature works automatically with no configuration needed.

Do forms and comments work with AJAX?

Yes. Contact Form 7, native WordPress comments, and most forms submit instantly without page refresh. You can choose which forms use AJAX or exclude specific forms.

Can I customize the loading animation?

Yes. Choose from progress bar, spinner overlay with icons, or cursor animation. Customize colors, positions, opacity, and timing. Add custom CSS for complete control.

Does AjaxPress support accessibility?

Yes. AjaxPress includes screen reader announcements, focus management after navigation, and respects the “prefers-reduced-motion” setting for users sensitive to animations.

What JavaScript hooks are available?

AjaxPress provides three hooks: before navigation starts, when loading begins, and after content loads. Use these to reinitialize sliders, tracking scripts, or custom JavaScript.
