If you have a loading spinner and your site already loads in <500ms, just get rid of the spinner. Your brain filters out short transitions anyway, so all a loading spinner does with such a brief time span is distract the user from whatever they were thinking about.

Then why not add a delay to showing the spinner? that way, if it ever takes longer than, say, your 500ms, you'll have an indicator...
