Place loaders strategically

Where should you place loaders? Here are 3 options:

  • Near the action: Place loaders adjacent to or inline with buttons or elements that initiate a process, such as submit buttons. This immediate proximity links the loader directly to the user-initiated action.
  • Close to content: Place them close to or overlay them above the loading content, such as images or text, minimizing confusion.
  • Centered or aligned: For full-page loaders, position them at the center. This indicates that the entire page is undergoing a change.

No matter which position you choose, ensure loaders are within the user's viewport, making them visible and maintaining user awareness of ongoing processes.
