How to Hide the Loading Page on a Share Link
This guide explains how to suppress the loading page on a shared microapp link — so recipients see the microapp content directly when it's ready, without a visible loading page in between.
Overview
By default, when a recipient opens a shared microapp link, a loading page appears while the content loads. You can turn this off using the Hide Loader setting to create a cleaner first-view experience.
|
Note: The Hide Loader option only appears in the Share modal when you're creating an Embed share link. It is not available in the modal for Direct, Public, Subtag, or Broadcast share links — though see “Using the URL Parameter Directly” below for a way to apply the same behavior to any share link. |
|
Also note: Hiding the loading page suppresses the visual page only — it does not affect how quickly the microapp loads. For microapps with large assets, recipients may see a brief blank screen while content loads before it appears. |
How to Enable Hide Loader (Embed Links)
1. Open the microapp in the Tiled Library.
2. Click Share to open the Share modal.
3. Select Embed as your sharing method — the Hide Loader setting only appears for Embed links.
4. Locate the Loader setting in the embed configuration options.
5. Toggle Hide Loader to on.
6. Copy or place the embed code as usual.
Recipients who open or load the embed will see the microapp content directly when it's ready — no loading page.
Using the URL Parameter Directly
Because Hide Loader isn't exposed in the Share modal for non-Embed share types, you can apply the same behavior manually by appending ?hideLoader=true to the end of any share URL. For example:
|
https://s-pp.tiled.co/0LH-tV5/release-62-2-0?hideLoader=true |
This works on Direct, Public, Subtag, and Broadcast links even though there's no toggle for it in the Share modal for those link types.
When to Use This
• Branded presentations where a loading page breaks visual continuity or doesn't match the microapp's aesthetic.
• Live presentations or demos where a clean entry from the first frame is important.
• Embedded experiences where a loading page looks out of place in the surrounding context.
Common Questions
Does hiding the loading page make the microapp load faster?
No — the Hide Loader setting only controls what recipients see while the microapp loads. The actual load time is unchanged.
What do recipients see if the loading page is hidden and the microapp takes a moment to load?
Recipients will see a blank screen until the content is ready to display. For microapps with large assets or slower connections, consider whether a brief blank screen is preferable to the default loading page for your use case.
Does the Hide Loader toggle show up for every share type?
No — it only appears in the Share modal when you're creating an Embed link. For other share types (Direct, Public, Subtag, Broadcast), add ?hideLoader=true to the end of the share URL to get the same effect.
Can I change this setting on an existing share link?
For an Embed link, check the share link management options in the Share modal to see whether the existing embed can be edited. For any other link type, you can add ?hideLoader=true to the end of the existing URL at any time — no need to create a new link.
