List the actions that trigger a wait
Any button, upload, or search that doesn't resolve instantly belongs on this list.

How it works
Estimate the typical wait time
The right feedback pattern depends heavily on duration — a spinner for 2 seconds, a progress bar for 30.
Check current coverage
Actions with no feedback at all are the ones most likely to feel broken or get double-clicked.

Frequently asked questions
Do all actions need a spinner?
No. Actions under a second usually just need a disabled/pressed state on the button; a spinner for something instant reads as sluggish, not responsive.
What's the difference between a spinner and a skeleton screen?
A spinner shows indeterminate waiting; a skeleton screen previews the shape of the incoming content, which tends to feel faster for medium waits (3-10s).
What should long-running actions (over 10s) show?
A progress indicator with real percentage or step count where possible, and ideally a way to navigate away and get notified when it's done rather than being forced to wait on the page.
Is this tool specific to my tech stack?
No — it scores coverage and wait-time fit generically. The implementation (CSS spinner, native progress bar, skeleton component) is up to your stack.
Does this replace real performance testing?
No. This tool plans perceived responsiveness; you should still measure actual load times and optimize the slow ones where possible.
