Display a loading bar before the entire page is loaded
Use a div #overlay
with your loading info / .gif that will cover all your page:
<div id="overlay">
<img src="loading.gif" alt="Loading" />
Loading...
</div>
jQuery:
$(window).load(function(){
// PAGE IS FULLY LOADED
// FADE OUT YOUR OVERLAYING DIV
$('#overlay').fadeOut();
});
Here's an example with a Loading bar:
jsBin demo
;(function(){
function id(v){ return document.getElementById(v); }
function loadbar() {
var ovrl = id("overlay"),
prog = id("progress"),
stat = id("progstat"),
img = document.images,
c = 0,
tot = img.length;
if(tot == 0) return doneLoading();
function imgLoaded(){
c += 1;
var perc = ((100/tot*c) << 0) +"%";
prog.style.width = perc;
stat.innerHTML = "Loading "+ perc;
if(c===tot) return doneLoading();
}
function doneLoading(){
ovrl.style.opacity = 0;
setTimeout(function(){
ovrl.style.display = "none";
}, 1200);
}
for(var i=0; i<tot; i++) {
var tImg = new Image();
tImg.onload = imgLoaded;
tImg.onerror = imgLoaded;
tImg.src = img[i].src;
}
}
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', loadbar, false);
}());
*{margin:0;}
body{ font: 200 16px/1 sans-serif; }
img{ width:32.2%; }

}
#progress{

position:absolute;
width:0; /* will be increased by JS */
top:50%;
}
#progstat{

letter-spacing: 3px;
position:absolute;
top:50%;
margin-top:-40px;
width:100%;
