Show Loading at the Route Segment in Next.js 15
In this video, we dive deep into how to optimize loading states in React with Suspense, especially when working with Next.js. We cover how Suspense triggers loading only when a component is pending, returning a promise. Using Next.js’s loading.tsx file, we enhance the user experience by providing immediate loading feedback and reducing content shifts, which is crucial for SEO and page performance. We demonstrate setting up a skeleton loader, explaining how it improves the user interface and ensures smooth transitions. By the end, you’ll know how to keep users engaged during data fetches or async processes in Next.js.
