    Preloader. Should I use one on my portfolio website?

    I'm kinda feeling it's better to let the page slowly load and progressively appear - even if it looks a bit naff while doing so - than see a circulating line:

    thoughts?

    • < probably could have found a better gifshapesalad
    • Lazyload content - afaik safari supports it these days. Loaders on content sites are... well, I don't like them.detritus
    • I think it's good to have one, and it doesn't appear if you don't need it.dbloc
    • this one is horrible though. what's with the jerk before the animation.dbloc
    • Perhaps it's good to have some sort of indicator, but generally these appear in front of the content, or act as a block so that ALL needs to be loaded.detritus
    • ...I think that just makes for a more painful user experience. Imho, anyway.detritus
    • do it pure css with a delay. If you are waiting for a pure css animation to load your bigger problem is your connection.dbloc

    • I think lazy loading is the way. never keen on a big empty page + preloaded approach.shapesalad
    • agreed lazy loading is def a standard.dbloc
