This question might sound similar to Rails turbolinks long request doesn't show page load.
I've recently started new Rails 4 application, which uses Turbolinks library by default - it is awesome: makes the application feel faster/snappier, however I do have some pages that are slower than others.
Unfortunately I can't find a good way to make a browser show the default loading indicator - just like it does when it loads "conventional" web pages. People recommend different JavaScript solutions, for example, https://github.com/caarlos0/turbolinks_transitions. Although some do look good, but "average internet user" is not used to seeing loading progress somewhere other than the default browser's loading indicator.
Most of my pages are fast though, so I'd like to show this loading indicator for the pages that won't load within 300 ms, for example.
Thank you! Alex.
While this isn't exactly what you want, you can change the cursor to be the loading cursor using javascript like this.
$('selector').css( 'cursor', 'wait' );
It would definitely let users know that a page is loading. You can set/remove it with more javascript
