javascript - Html preloader - delay page load

Question

I need some help with my new template :). Before the webpage loads I want to show a preloader gif. I done it, however it shows just a little, because the page loads very fast. So I would like to delay the page (with 2 seconds, as an exemple), without affecting the preloader, so it (the preloader) would appear for 2 seconds, so until the page loads.

Here is my code (note that it will not work on jsfiddle, because I can't upload the .gif file): jsfiddle.net/hLmxpsnw/

For whatever reason u want it its done using setTimeout here is the code

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
    $(window).load(function () {
        setTimeout(function(){
            $('#preloader').fadeOut('slow', function () {
            });
        },2000); // set the time here
    });  
});
