loading indicator
Wait animation display
A loading indicator is a visual element showing that a system is processing or retrieving data.
Spinning wheels, progress bars, and pulsing dots all serve as loading indicators, telling users to wait rather than assuming something has frozen or failed.
The loading indicator spun for thirty seconds before the page appeared.
