What is a loading spinner?
A loading spinner is a circular animation that can be used as an alternative to the classic loading icon. The purpose of using these spinners is to make visitors aware that content is being loaded or that their request was successful (e.g., “Place Order”).
They are usually placed at the top of the page while waiting for content to load.
When to use a loading spinner?
Most commonly, they are used when there’s no visual feedback available, such as during AJAX requests or when showing pagination links.
Loading spinners are used in many different situations, but they are especially useful for:
- Visually indicate that something is happening on your website. This can be a good idea if you want to give users an idea of how long they will have to wait before they can actually use your site and what is happening behind the scenes;
- Keep people interested while they wait for content to load;
- Create a sense of urgency when there is no actual reason for urgency;
- Reduce abandonment rate by showing visitors that their request was received, processed, and is now being fulfilled
