Conflict with Loading Page with Loading Screen

Hi,
I hope your day is going well. Thank you for this wonderful plugin!

I found a compatibility issue with Loading Page with Loading Screen:
If both plugin are active and in the Loading Page plugin you check the option “Show loading screen when clicking on the link” then save, if in the website there are links that are external so opens in a new windows the following will happen: a new tab with the clicked link is opened and loaded but, also the page where user clicked the link is redirected to the clicked link. Results: the two tab will be redirected to the clicked link.

This is just a report. I try to report this issue to the Loading Page plugin but not a real fix solution was found from the other developer. [See topic here]This issue is not present if I use your other plugin called External Links – nofollow, noopener & new window but I want use this one not the other one.

Could you try to see if a fix is possible?

How to reproduce the issue:
1. Install and enable: External Links in New Window / New Tab and Loading Page with Loading Screen
2. In Loading Page with Loading Screen settings enable the option “Show loading screen when clicking on the link”
3. Be sure on the website there is a link that point to an external link, click it and you will see the current page will be redirected to the clicked link and this will happen also on a new tab page.

The expected result is that the external link will be opened only on the new tab, current tab should be not redirected to the clicked link.

Thank you!
