How to Create a Website Loader: A Guide with Examples and Resources

WEBSITE LOADER

A website loader (or preloader) is an animated graphic that appears while a web page or resource is loading. It enhances user experience by informing visitors that content is being prepared, preventing them from seeing a blank or unresponsive page.

Why Use a Loader?

Step 1: Creating a Simple CSS Loader

You can create a basic loader using HTML and CSS:

 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Loader</title>
</head>
<body>

  <!-- Your content goes here -->
  <div class="loader"></div>
  <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Step 2: CSS for the Loader Animation

.loader {
    width: 50px;
    height: 50px;
    border: 5px solid #f3f3f3;
    border-top: 5px solid #3498db;
   border-radius: 50%;
   animation: spin 1s linear infinite;
}

@keyframes spin {
  0% { transform: rotate(0deg); }
   100% { transform: rotate(360deg); }
}

Step 3:Adding JavaScript to Show/Hide Loader

If you want the loader to appear while the page loads and disappear once it’s ready, use this JavaScript snippet:

 

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
document.querySelector(".loader").style.display = "none";
});

This hides the loader once the content has fully loaded.

Prerequisites

Before diving into JavaScript, ensure the following:

  1. Text Editor: Have a reliable text editor, such as Visual Studio Code or Sublime Text, installed on your computer.
  2. Understanding of HTML and CSS: Familiarize yourself with the basics of HTML and CSS, as JavaScript often works in tandem with these technologies.
