Performance Fact: Pure CSS loaders run on the browser's compositor thread, ensuring smooth 60FPS animations even when the main thread is busy with heavy JavaScript execution.
Usage Tips: Use 'Classic Spinner' for general loading states or 'Progress Bar' for heavy data fetching. Our loaders are JavaScript-free, ensuring zero impact on your site's Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) score.

Technical FAQ

Why use CSS instead of GIFs or JS?

CSS loaders are vector-based, retina-ready, and don't require extra HTTP requests. They also allow you to change colors dynamically using CSS variables.

How do I center the loader?

The easiest way is using Flexbox: 'display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center;' on the parent container.
