I have sen this effect randomly on a few sites and it is a good UI/UX practice. The effect is that when visiting a site it displays a quick image of the page in a low fidelity wireframe before displaying the high fidelity full version of the same website. I have been trying to search for any documentation on this but am probably using incorrect terms to search. Ideas? Thanks.
Are you sure it is the sites doing this and not your browsers tab preview feature?
I.e. these sites show a “wireframe” regardless of which browser you use
yes. there might be a browser sniffing code that is used.
Yes, I didn’t make the connection. It is indeed “skeleton” preload screen.
And Discourse uses it too. If you go to the beginning of a very long topic and scroll down very fast you can see a glimpse of it before posts load in.
