Loading animation is the what you see on some sites before the main content of the web page is loaded. Thoughtful animations can entertain your users while they wait for your content to load and reduce chances for visitors to leave your site. Loading animation can be extremely helpful when a website is complex and its loading time takes a few seconds.
