Hello readers, Today in this blog you’ll learn how to create Windows Preloader using only HTML & CSS. Earlier I have shared two blog posts on how to create Loading Animation or Loader but one of my viewers requested me to create Windows Loader. So now it’s time to create this program (Windows Preloader or Loader).
What is a preloader? Preloaders (also known as loaders) are what you see on the webpage screen while the rest of the page’s content is still loading. Loader helps to entertain the visitors or content’s viewers while the rest pages are still loading. And preloaders help to maintain the bounce rate of the website.
As you have seen in the Windows Screen while you switch on the PC/Laptop there is shown rotating dots or loader with “please wait” text and while the loader is rotating after a few seconds, those dots are disappeared for few seconds, and again appear.
In this program, this loader is the same as the windows starting loader which rotates clockwise infinitely. When this loader at 76% to 100%, these loader dots are disappeared and again these dots appear when the loader is at 40%.
If you’re feeling difficult to understand what I am saying. You can watch a full video tutorial on this program (Windows Preloader or Loader).
