Using Load Icons

Imagine a situation in which you enter a new site. The content you are desperately searching for doesn’t seem to be loading. You don’t know whether something is actually loading, or if it is just not there. You finally decide to exit the page.

This situation can be very typical when websites require large files to be downloaded. In order to combat such a situation, a load icon may be used to signify that something is loading.
