03 / Website use cases
Where to use image load status
On slow connections, big galleries and maps can sit half-loaded with no sign of what is happening, and a broken image just stays broken. Image load status counts the images on the page or in one gallery, shows progress, tells visitors which could not load, and offers Try again for only those images.
Slow connections
Explain why images are still appearing.
Maps and diagrams
Offer Try again when a big image fails.

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot image load status
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why does it say images are waiting?
They load lazily when scrolled into view.
Why is nothing shown?
The CSS ID matches nothing on the page. The editor explains this.
Does Try again reload the page?
No. It asks again only for the images that failed.
Which ID do I enter?
The CSS ID from Advanced on the image, widget or section.
Image load status plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Does it slow the page down?
No. It only listens to images the browser is already loading.
Can it watch one gallery?
Yes. Give the gallery a CSS ID and choose that option.
Is it accessible?
Yes. Progress has a label, Try again is a real button, and screen readers hear only the final message.
Does it send anything to a server?
No. Try again asks the browser for the same images again; nothing else is requested.
