What is a skeleton loader?

A skeleton loader is a placeholder animation that mimics the layout of content before it loads. It improves perceived performance by showing the structure of the page while data is being fetched.

How does the shimmer animation work?

The shimmer effect uses a CSS gradient that moves across the skeleton elements using the background-position property and CSS animations. It creates a wave-like effect that suggests content is loading.

Can I customize the skeleton colors?

Yes, you can set both the base color (the main skeleton color) and the highlight color (the shimmer wave color) to match your website's design.

Are these skeleton loaders pure CSS?

Yes, all skeleton loaders use pure CSS for both the layout and the shimmer animation. No JavaScript is required.
