Now if you know HTML and CSS, you can create your own CSS loading animation, but if you don’t, then you can find many custom CSS loading animations on different websites like CSSloaders, Loading.io etc.

For example, we’ll use a CSS loading animation from the CSSloaders.

Click on the animation you like and it will show the HTML and CSS code in a popup. Copy the CSS first, then in the Preloader block add <style> </style> tag and paste the CSS in between the tag.

Like this –

<style>

Your CSS Code…

</style>

Then go back to the CSSloaders site and copy the HTML and paste it in the Preloader block.
