An animated loader is a type of visual element that appears on a website or app when content is being processed or fetched in the background. This visual element is used to keep users engaged, so they don't leave if they see a blank screen while the content is loading. In this blog post, we will share a simple CSS loader or CSS loading animation source code that is created using only HTML and CSS. We have added a video tutorial about this CSS animation snippet below.

Video Tutorial:

We hope you have watched the CSS Loading animation video tutorial above. A loader or loading animation on any website or app is very useful for several reasons. A loader reassures visitors that the website or app is actually working. It also reduces frustration among users and prevents them from abandoning the website or app. A beautiful and elegant loader animation reduces latency, even if the page takes several minutes to load. It also maintains brand identity and prevents confusion among users. Various types of websites use this feature to hold their customers for a while before their content loads. One of these is e-commerce sites, as product galleries and checkout pages often take a long time to load. Media and entertainment platforms like Netflix or Pinterest use loading animations because videos and images take a long time to load. Web apps and dashboards, single-page applications, blogs, and heavy media websites use this feature to prevent their users from moving away.
