Load non-critical code when content approaches the viewport
Many pages ship JavaScript for offscreen sections that a user may never reach. Import-on-visibility keeps the initial route lighter while still loading content early enough to feel ready when users scroll to it.
Quick Reference
- Use Intersection Observer to start loading code before an offscreen section becomes visible
- Reserve space with placeholders or skeletons so deferred sections do not cause layout shift
- Tune
rootMarginso heavy content loads early enough without competing with above-the-fold work - Use this for charts, reviews, related products, embeds, and offscreen dashboards
Check
Identify components, widgets, or modules that load on first render even though they only appear after the user scrolls. Flag which ones can switch to visibility-based loading.
Fix
Use Intersection Observer or an equivalent framework primitive to load the offscreen component or dependency when it approaches the viewport, while preserving layout stability and a clear placeholder.
