When it comes to web games, loading performance can make or break the player’s experience. How developers handle the loading phase plays a vital role in setting the tone for the gameplay ahead. Two common approaches dominate the conversation: progressive loading, where objects are loaded one by one while visible, and the use of loading screens, where all assets are loaded behind the scenes. Let's delve into the pros and cons of each method and explore what works best for web games.
