== Installation ==

1. Install the plugin either via the WordPress.org plugin directory, or by uploading the files to your server (in the /wp-content/plugins/ directory).

3. In the WordPress administration screen, go to Settings > LoftLoader Lite, check the settings there.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= No changes on activation/deactivation =
- If you have installed any caching plugins then clear the cache.

= LoftLoader doesn’t work properly =
- If your site is using a cache/performance optimization plugin, it might move all JavaScript on your site into the footer of your page. But the JavaScript of LoftLoader needs to be put in the < head > of a page so it can be executed as soon as possible. Many cache/performance optimization plugins have the “exclude” feature which allows to skip some code/files from being aggregated and minimized. To solve this kind of problem, please exclude files of LoftLoader.
