The post describes a simple animation that plays while the site is loading. The community members in the comments suggest that the use of a loading indicator may not be necessary, as the site should be optimized to avoid the need for such a spinner. They point out that the large background image (2.3MB) is likely the cause of the perceived need for a loading indicator, and recommend using an Image component to optimize the image. Overall, the community members advise against using a loading indicator and suggest optimizing the site's performance instead.
