I did notice it on google's gmail service so apparently this isn't anything new...its been studied and tested. Humans are just odd beings I guess...we see a spinning loader and because its faster we assume a page loads faster - brilliant! | |

| Dec 9, 2014 at 16:44 | comment | added | JonH | This is simply cool...I had no idea there were studies done on this. | |
| Dec 9, 2014 at 16:40 | comment | added | Robert Mallow | @Navot I finally opted to move the spinner. | |

| Dec 9, 2014 at 16:30 | comment | added | JonH | A spinner moving faster will give the perception that the page is loading faster? What in the world??? | |

| Dec 9, 2014 at 11:19 | comment | added | Robert Mallow | @Navot It is text. | |
| Dec 9, 2014 at 11:16 | comment | added | Navot | Is the item going to be text or image? I think you should worry more about streamlining the "jump" between loading animation and ready appearance than what position is perceived to be 2 microseconds shorter | |
