• Layout-matching skeleton screens beat spinners on perceived wait only for short loads

  Hypothesis: a skeleton placeholder that reproduces the final layout is judged faster than a centred spinner when the content arrives within a few seconds, because the layout is stable and the eye has somewhere to go; for longer waits the advantage disappears or reverses, because a skeleton gives no sign of progress and no reassurance that anything is happening.
