Loaders & Skeleton

Preloaders, often known as loaders, are the elements that appear on some sites and apps screens while the rest of the page is still loading. The purpose of preloaders is to entertain visitors and inform them the server is processing and they should wait. A skeleton screen is an animated placeholder that simulates the layout of a website while data is being loaded.
