CSS Skeleton Loadings
Updated Mar 10, 2026
CSS skeleton loading is a UI technique used to display placeholder layouts while content is loading. Instead of showing a blank screen or spinner, skeleton loaders mimic the structure of the page using animated blocks or shimmer effects. With pure CSS, developers can create lightweight and responsive skeleton loading animations for cards, images, text, and other components.
