Overview
Loading spinners are used when retrieving data or performing slow computations. They notify to the user that their request is being processed. Although they do not provide details about what is occurring on the back-end, they reassure the user that their action is being processed.
Use a loading spinner whenever the wait time is anticipated to be longer than three seconds.
Formatting
Loading spinners may be scaled down if the loading experience is contextual to a certain item on the page.
