Best Practices and Tips
- Consistent User Experience: Ensure that the loading indicator is consistently shown during all page transitions. This provides a uniform user experience across your app.
- Performance Considerations: Be mindful of the performance impact. While the loading indicator enhances user experience, it should not significantly slow down transitions.
- Adjustable Delay: The delay time before hiding the loading indicator can be adjusted based on your app’s needs. Too short a delay may make the indicator flash briefly, while too long a delay might make transitions feel slow.
