PleaseWait.js is a small JavaScript/CSS library that displays a customizable splash/loading page while a web application loads. It supports a background color, logo, custom loading HTML, and fades out when the app calls finish().
Use cases
- show a splash page while my SPA loads
- display a loading screen with logo and spinner before app assets finish downloading
- hide initial HTML flash while JavaScript loads
- update loading message dynamically during app startup
- fade out loading screen once app is ready
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, dependency-free splash screen for a single-page app
- you need a simple API (pleaseWait / finish) without a full framework
- you want to mask slow initial asset loading with a branded loading page
When to avoid
- you need modern framework-integrated loading states (React/Vue suspense, etc.)
- your project requires actively maintained dependencies — the library is in maintenance mode with infrequent releases
- you need complex loading orchestration or progress reporting
