Description
A true Single Page Application (SPA) plugin – no coding, no configuration.
Stop losing visitors to slow page loads. AjaxPress replaces full page reloads with instant ajax navigation, giving your site a blazing-fast, app-like experience that keeps users engaged and coming back.
👉 Unlock Pro Features – Advanced features & priority support
💨 Instant page loads. Visitors get zero-delay page transitions with smooth navigation – no white screens, no waiting, no frustration. Lower bounce rates, longer sessions.
🎵 Audio and video never stop. Live streams, podcasts, and music keep playing seamlessly while users browse. A game-changer for radio stations, podcast networks, and music platforms.
How It Works
AjaxPress intercepts internal link clicks and loads the next page over ajax instead of a full browser reload. Real URLs are preserved via the History API, the page title and head metadata (canonical, OpenGraph, JSON-LD) are synced on every navigation, and back/forward buttons work exactly as expected. Search engines crawl your site normally – nothing changes for SEO.

Changelog
For full changelog, see changelog.txt
2.3.3
- New: Cloudflare cache integration — purge and manage Cloudflare edge cache directly from the AjaxPress settings panel
- Fixed: Duplicate browser-history entries. Each navigation now adds exactly one entry and the back button no longer traps visitors in a loop
- Fixed: Back/forward navigation that hits a server redirect no longer creates unwanted forward entries
- Fixed: The
ajaxpress:readyevent now fires after the URL and title are updated, so analytics listeners read the correct page - New:
ajaxpress_page_viewdataLayer event for Google Analytics 4 / Tag Manager, with page_location, page_title, and measured engagement_time_msec so GA4 engagement metrics keep working on SPA navigation - New:
ajaxpress-loadingandajaxpress-completeevents are now emitted as documented - Fixed: Ctrl/Cmd+click and Shift+click on links now open a new tab or window instead of navigating in place
- Fixed:
target="_blank"is matched case-insensitively, and a site-wide<base target>is honored - Fixed: Links with a
downloadattribute are no longer intercepted by SPA navigation - Fixed: Elements opted into persistence no longer appear twice in the page shell
- Fixed: No more doubled audio with persistent media players. The previous page is fully unloaded after navigation and the hidden original player copy is removed once lifted
- Fixed: Premium settings (Media Players, Exclude Links, loader customizations) are no longer erased when a license check fails or the plugin is re-activated
- Fixed: A temporary license-server outage no longer deactivates your license. Only a definitive invalid-key response does
- Security: The license key is no longer printed in the public page source. The frontend now receives only a validity flag
2.3.2
- New: Rebuilt licensing and activation – faster, more reliable license validation and a smoother activation flow
- New: Send feedback directly from the Help page, with a quick happy / neutral / unhappy rating
- New: Rating prompt to share your experience, plus a one-click way to leave a review

- Fixed: Canonical, OpenGraph, and Twitter Card meta tags now sync to the parent shell on every nav, so social previews and search engines see the page being viewed instead of the initial-load URL
- Fixed: Iframe sub-document is now flagged noindex,nofollow so JS-rendering crawlers do not double-index the same URL twice
- Fixed: External links with target=”_blank” now open in a new tab instead of replacing the current page
- Fixed: Persistent player no longer briefly duplicates on Mobile Safari during scroll-and-hold gestures
- Fixed: Persistent elements with sticky child widgets (Elementor) are now properly hidden in the iframe source
- New: Persistent media (audio, video, radio widgets) is lifted into the parent shell and keeps playing without reload across all navigation
- New:
ajaxpress:readyevent for re-initializing external scripts after AJAX navigation
