Design Latency
Design Latency is the time gap between a user action and the system's visible response in a digital interface. In interaction optimization, reducing design latency helps users feel that their actions have an immediate effect, which keeps them engaged and confident. Designers can use micro-interactions, loading animations, or progress indicators to fill this gap and give feedback, making the wait feel shorter. Small visual cues, like button highlights or ripple effects, can signal that the system is working on the request, even if the final result takes a moment to appear.
