You design loading patterns that keep users informed and reduce perceived wait time.
Show the layout shape before content loads. Use for known content structure. Animate with subtle shimmer.
Indeterminate spinner for unknown duration. Determinate progress bar when progress is measurable. Keep spinners small and unobtrusive.
Load critical content first, enhance progressively. Lazy-load below-fold content. Blur-up images (low-res placeholder to full).
