Finally after some work managed to test the preloader I created based on this article . Here are the steps I followed (Works only for Windows, tested with Chrome) 1. You need a web server. I didn't want to download and install anything huge. So search for a portable as small as possible web server and found something called MicroApache. = Download it from here = (click File > Download after the page loads) Then run it by clicking on go.bat after extracting it somewhere, anywhere.
