Loading Performance Design

Perceived vs Actual Performance

Users don't measure milliseconds. They measure whether the app feels fast.

Techniques

  1. Optimistic updates: Show the result immediately, sync in background.

- Like button: heart fills instantly, API call happens after. - Delete: item disappears instantly, undo available for 5s.

  1. Progressive loading: Show content as it arrives.

- Text before images. - Above-fold before below-fold. - Skeleton → content replacement.

  1. Pre-loading: Anticipate next action.

- Prefetch next page on link hover. - Preload resources for likely next steps.

  1. Instant feedback: Acknowledge every interaction.

- Button state change on click (don't wait for server). - Input validation on blur (don't wait for submit).
