Client Area Login Process Feedback

Hey guys 👋

UX improvement opportunity for the Client Area login form.

After clicking “login” it can take a substantial amount of time for the login process / feedback process to complete.

IE After I click login it can take 3 or 4 seconds (some times even longer) for either the login process to complete, or for an error messages to appear on the page.

So the following happens:

• Login page loads

• I enter my credentials

• I click login

• I wait for 3 or 4 seconds

• Login process completes.

While this delay is primarily down to the recaptcha process in the background, and which cannot be helped, a loading spinner, or even an overlay with the word “loading…” would be a nice addition.

Just something that acknowledges that I have pressed the login button and that the login process is underway.

As this is not really a problem on desktop (for me anyways) a 500ms timeout is also an option to stop the “flicker” on the screen for desktops, and still provides some sort of visual feedback that acknowledges the login process is happening in the background.

Thanks
