Laravel PHP Loading Animation

I am using the Laravel framework for my PHP Webapp.

I am executing some SELECT queries which can take a few seconds to run. My Controller looks like this:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Clans;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use DB;

class ClansController extends Controller
{
    public function index(){
        \DB::connection()->disableQueryLog();

        $clan = Clans::paginate(100,['id', 'clanid', 'name', 'level', 'exp', 'warwinpercent', 'warswon', 'playercount', 'score']);

        \DB::connection()->enableQueryLog();


        return view('clans.index')->with('clan', $clan);
    }



    public function order($orderby){
        \DB::connection()->disableQueryLog();

        if($orderby == "level"){
            $clan = Clans::orderBy('level', 'DESC')
            ->orderBy('exp', 'DESC')
            ->paginate(100,['id', 'clanid', 'name', 'level', 'exp', 'warwinpercent', 'warswon', 'playercount', 'score']);
        }elseif($orderby == "score"){
            $clan = Clans::orderBy('score', 'DESC')
            ->paginate(100,['id', 'clanid', 'name', 'level', 'exp', 'warwinpercent', 'warswon', 'playercount', 'score']);
        }elseif($orderby == "warwinpercent"){
            $clan = Clans::orderBy('warwinpercent', 'DESC')
            ->where('warswon', '>=', '100')
            ->paginate(100,['id', 'clanid', 'name', 'level', 'exp', 'warwinpercent', 'warswon', 'playercount', 'score']);
        }else
            $clan = Clans::paginate(100,['id', 'clanid', 'name', 'level', 'exp', 'warwinpercent', 'warswon', 'playercount', 'score']);

        \DB::connection()->enableQueryLog();

        return view('clans.index')->with('clan', $clan);
    }


    public function showclan($id){
        $clan = Clans::find($id);

        return view('clans.clan' , compact('clan'));
    }


}

What I am trying to do is while that is all running I want a loading animation to be shown to the user. When the page is loaded then I want the page to be shown.

How can I go about achieving this? I looked into JQuery and PHP stuff but they only show when the full page has already loaded (I tried them in the View).

Thanks for any help you can provide.
