What are some common methods for implementing a page loading status indicator using JavaScript and PHP?

When loading a page that may take some time to load due to server-side processing or large amounts of data, it is helpful to provide a visual indicator to the user that the page is still loading. This can be achieved using JavaScript to display a loading spinner or progress bar while the page loads. PHP can be used to handle the server-side processing and data retrieval, while JavaScript can handle the client-side display of the loading indicator. 

<?php
// PHP code to simulate a delay in loading the page
sleep(3); // Simulate a 3-second delay

// Display the rest of the page content
echo "<h1>Welcome to my website!</h1>";
echo "<p>This is the content of the page.</p>";
?>
