Loading bar- where do I place it?

Hi all, I'm trying to make a loading bar, but running into problems of it displaying all the time in the head of the site. How do I hide a loading bar and only show it when it needs to be there. Would this be a js function or could it be done just with html and css?
 
I think you should start with HTML and CSS it hidden then JavaScript to show and use it. This could also be a back end or CMS thing where things are displayed while an HTML page loads. X E.
 
Add an ID to your loader element and use the JavaScript onload event listener to hide the element once the page has finished loading.

Here's a simple example:
HTML:
<span id="loader">Loading...</span>
<script>
  window.onload = () => document.querySelector("#loader").remove();
</script>
