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.
