๐ฏ Ever clicked a link, saw a blank screen, and wondered if something broke?
Thatโs not bad logic โ thatโs bad UX.
And yesterday, I realized how React Suspense helps prevent this by filling those โin-betweenโ moments with clarity.
๐ก What I Learned
After implementing lazy loading, I explored React Suspense โ and itโs not just a technical feature, itโs a UX improvement tool.
When components take time to load (which happens with lazy loading), Suspense allows you to show:
-->A loading spinner
-->A skeleton screen
-->A โplease waitโ message
This simple addition gives your app a human feel โ users know something is happening.
๐ง The Shift in Thinking
React Suspense taught me that:
โ
Speed is important
โ
But feedback is essential
Even a 1-second delay feels fine when the user sees a visual cue.
But a blank screen? That breaks trust.
๐ How I Used It
I added custom fallback UI while lazy-loading components like dashboards and profiles in my app.
It instantly made everything feel smoother and more โcompleteโ โ even though the performance stayed the same.
๐ฌ Letโs Talk
What kind of fallback UI do you prefer?
โ Spinners, skeletons, animated loaders, or something else?
Iโm exploring different styles and would love to learn what works best in your projects.
