What role does CSS play in the functionality of a preloader script like the one discussed in the forum thread, and how can CSS errors impact the overall performance?

CSS plays a crucial role in determining the appearance and behavior of a preloader script. Any errors in the CSS code can impact the overall performance by causing layout inconsistencies, slow loading times, or even breaking the functionality of the preloader. It is important to ensure that the CSS is properly written and optimized to enhance the performance of the preloader script.

// Example of CSS code for a preloader script
<style>
  .preloader {
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background-color: #fff;
    z-index: 9999;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
  }
  
  .preloader img {
    width: 50px;
    height: 50px;
  }
</style>
