 * Hi there,
 * You could hide the loading bar with some custom CSS.
 * To add custom CSS: Firstly [activate a custom CSS plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css)
   or, if you have [Jetpack](https://jetpack.com/) installed, activate [its custom CSS module](https://jetpack.com/support/custom-css/).
 * Enter the following snippet in the plugin’s CSS editor:
 *     ```
       .pace {
       display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Let me know how that goes. 🙂

 * Hello,
    I am afraid, it doesn’t work… A white screen turns up and after about
   2 minutes the site gets displayed.

 * Hi there,
 * The CSS provided hides the loading bar but doesn’t actually have any effect on
   the amount of time it takes your site to load, which is why you still see the
   delay.
 * Would you be able to provide me with a link to your site? We can troubleshoot
   possible reasons for the relatively long load time together.

 * But the loading bar itself isn’t the issue. I want to analyze my website with
   gtmetrix, the problem is that gtmetrix doesn’t wait until the site is fully loaded.
   In the “website window” of gtmetrix (I hope you know what I mean) only the loading
   bar gets displayed, so the results are falsified.
 * If you want to see it yourself, just analyze my site with [https://gtmetrix.com/](https://gtmetrix.com/)
 * I thought I would solve this problem if I just remove the loading bar…

 * Oh, I can see what you mean! GTmetrix isn’t waiting until the site is fully loaded
   to display the results.
 * I’m afraid that there’s little we can do to help without knowledge of how GTmetrix
   loads gathers information from your site. You could contact GTmetrix to report
   the issue and discuss it further with them:
 * [https://gtmetrix.com/contact.html](https://gtmetrix.com/contact.html)
 * Alternatively, have you considered using another tool to analyse your site? It
   looks like Google’s PageSpeed tool waits for your site to fully load and will
   give your some more accurate results around page speed:
