Skeleton Screen

Skeleton Screen is a visual placeholder used in UX design that shows the layout of content while the actual data is loading. Designers often use simple shapes like rectangles and circles to represent where text, images, or buttons will appear. This method helps users understand the structure of the page and keeps them engaged during loading times. Skeleton screens can be animated with subtle color changes to give a sense of progress and movement. The timing and transition of skeleton screens can be fine-tuned to match the expected load time, which helps set user expectations and makes the wait feel shorter.
