Quality of Life UX Request: "Include a loading indicator" for the areas that require additional time to load.

It may not be an issue at all, but watching the youtube video for the primed caches, I noticed the static stuff pulled in right away while the dynamic stuff waited to load. From a UX standpoint, I think it should let the user know that "something is happening". Communicate to the user that additional information is available, but not quite yet. I foresee on a big production site where users completely bypass areas of information because there's no information there. They scroll out of the view range and when they come back, don't realize something that wasn't there before, is now magically there.

If anything, maybe hold on to this issue when Big Pipe is ready for some spit and polish.

    There's not much to go on here. The IS refers to a YouTube video without any links to said video.

    If anything, maybe hold on to this issue when Big Pipe is ready for some spit and polish.

    Is that time now?

    When this issue was opened frontend frameworks were not as popular as they are now. Perhaps decoupled Drupal with a React frontend solves this for some. We also have things like HTML-native lazy loading attributes that didn't exist in 2015.

    I think to progress this issue we need some clarity. Perhaps let's start with the standard issue template.
