Where Loadify stands out
Worth considering for loading screens plus seasonal effects and optional performance tools.

Will a preloader make my Shopify store faster?
A preloader changes what visitors see while a page loads. It does not, by itself, reduce server response time or the amount of JavaScript and imagery your store downloads. Test on mobile and slow connections, verify the overlay always closes, and measure performance separately.
