import-on-visibility

Review long pages and dashboards to defer heavy components until they approach the visible screen area. Identify unnecessary initial JavaScript, introduce visibility-based loading, and preserve layout space so scrolling content is ready when needed.

OriginalShow the original description

Use when reviewing long pages, dashboards, or content feeds with expensive offscreen modules. Balance early enough loading for smooth scrolling against keeping the initial route light.

AI rating90/ 100See how to install

Good for

  • Defer charts located far down a dashboard
  • Review loading behavior on long landing pages
  • Load embeds and related products as they approach the screen
  • Prevent layout shifts in deferred sections

Overview

What it does

Reviews how long pages load components that users cannot see until they scroll. It examines charts, embeds, reviews, related products, and similar content loaded during the initial render, and helps change them to load their code as they approach the visible area. It uses Intersection Observer, a mechanism that monitors an element’s position relative to the viewport, to balance initial loading work against waiting time during scrolling.

When it helps

Use it for information-heavy dashboards or long landing pages that load features near the bottom right from the start. It also explains how loading based on visibility differs from loading triggered by a user interaction.

Example requests

  • “Review offscreen components and identify which ones could load as they approach the visible area.”
  • “Defer the charts near the bottom and keep the layout from shifting when they appear.”

Notes

Reserve space for deferred sections with placeholders or a surrounding frame. Adjust rootMargin, which sets how far ahead loading starts, so content can be ready before users reach it without competing too much with initial rendering work.

Objective evaluation

AI rated this skill on four points using only the contents of its SKILL.md. Stars and popularity are not taken into account.

Clear instructionsIs it clear when to use it and what it does?
AGoodIt explicitly targets heavy offscreen components and loads them as they approach the viewport.
Concrete stepsAre steps, inputs, outputs, and examples spelled out?
BPartly lackingIt specifies Intersection Observer and space reservation, but the text provides no implementation examples or tuning values.
SafetyAre sending data, deleting files, and running commands disclosed?
AGoodIt concerns loading implementation changes and gives no instructions for external transmission, deletion, or credential handling.
Easy setupDoes it need few tools or API keys, and are they documented?
AGoodIt uses Intersection Observer or an equivalent framework feature, with no external service or key requirements.

The total counts each point as A = 25, B = 15, C = 5. Rated by AI (OpenAI Codex) as of Oct 23, 2026. Treat it as a guide and read the original before installing.

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 rootMargin so 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.

Explain

Explain import-on-visibility, how it differs from import-on-interaction, and how viewport-based loading helps large pages stay fast.

Code Review

Inspect scroll-triggered sections, embeds, charts, recommendation modules, and long landing pages. Flag code that is bundled eagerly even though the corresponding UI stays offscreen until later, and verify the deferred version still loads before the user reaches it.
