Usage

Spinner usage illustration 1

Don't use the loading spinner on it's own if the waiting time is likely longer than 8 seconds. With a longer wait time, pair the spinner with a self updating message to reassure the user that the process is still working. eg. 'Loading your details', 'Still updating'.

Spinner usage illustration 2

Don't use a loading spinner to show that content is going to be loaded into empty slots within a preloaded page. Use the skeleton loading component instead.
