CSS Loading Animation

Introduction

When there is a visitor to our web page, and they click on the button, then they expect some feedback from the developer side. If there is no feedback from the developer side, then the user may think something may be wrong. Also, they quickly go away from the website before something happens.

We can prevent these by using a loading animation. With the help of the loading animation, we can provide a better user interface for knowing the people that some process occurs in the background.

What is a Loading Animation?

In CSS, loading animation is nothing but a type of notification for the user that ensures the user that the system is still handling their request. When the user clicks on a button until the completion of the request, the animation loads.

Also, some animations have a progress bar that indicates the remaining time for the completion of the request. This also provides a real-time update that reduces the boringness of the user. There are so many tools by which we can create the loading animation. But CSS is the best practice for the creation of the loading animation.

CSS for Loading Animations

We can also create the animation loader with the help of another language, such as JavaScript or a simple GIF loader. However, CSS provides some strengths for creating the animation loader. Those strengths are as follows.

  1. We can easily edit it. We can also quickly edit the duration, color, speed, and other animation elements.
  2. If we change the scale of the animation, then it does not lose its quality.
  3. If we use a graphics processing unit, then it makes the animation fast and smooth.
  4. We can also pause the animation with the help of the animation-play-state property.

Some browsers, such as Internet Explorer 9 and Opera Mini, may not support the loading animation. If this is the case, we have to use GIF.
