What does loading spinner mean?
A loading spinner is generally a branded element with a looping animation that indicates loading is in process and where it will appear.
What is a spinner in UI?
A spinner is an animated element that appears after a user's action to indicate that saving or loading is in progress. Implementation (Vue.js)
What is a loading state?
Loading states are just that — small pockets of time that should be judiciously used to provide the user with visibility on what the system is doing. This is key in helping users feel in control, making them aware of the context at all times, and reassuring them that the right task is effectively being worked on.
How long should a loading animation be?
10 seconds is about the limit for keeping the user's attention focused on the dialogue. For the longer delays, users perform other tasks while waiting for the device to load, so they should be given feedback displaying the expected time to complete.
