<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

This script will add a div that covers the entire screen as the page loads. It will show a CSS-only loading spinner automatically. It will wait until the window (not the document) finishes loading..

  <ul>
    <li>Works with jQuery 3 (it has a new window load event)</li>
    <li>No image needed but it's easy to add one</li>
    <li>Change the delay for more branding or instructions</li>
    <li>Only dependency is jQUery.</li>
  </ul>

Place the script below at the bottom of the body.
