A preloader that counts from 0 to 100 and then lifts like a curtain, on a fixed layer that never blocks the page: pointer-events none from the first frame, aria-hidden, the page rendered and usable beneath.

A bar that fills to its value when it scrolls into view, with the number counting up beside it, or a ring with the number in the middle.

Placeholder lines, optionally with an avatar, shimmering while content loads.

An indeterminate arc whose length breathes while it rotates, so it looks like it is working rather than spinning a fixed wedge.
