## What it is
Pace is a small JavaScript and CSS library that automatically adds a page load progress bar to any website. It monitors ajax requests, event loop lag, document ready state, and page elements to compute progress without requiring any code changes.

## Use cases
- add a loading progress bar to my website
- show page load progress automatically without writing code
- display a progress indicator during ajax navigation
- loading bar for single page app route changes
- drop-in loading animation with css themes
- track ajax request progress on a web page

## When to avoid
- you need fine-grained control over progress computation or custom loading state sources
- your app already has a state-management-driven loading indicator or skeleton screens
- you need a framework-specific solution with React/Vue component APIs
- you require accessibility features like reduced-motion support or screen reader announcements out of the box
