# Lazy Loading Implementation

I'll implement lazy loading patterns for images, components, and routes to improve initial load performance and reduce bundle size.

**Supported Frameworks:**
- React (React.lazy, Suspense)
- Vue (defineAsyncComponent)
- Next.js (next/dynamic)
- Angular (loadChildren)
- Svelte (dynamic imports)
- Vanilla JavaScript (Intersection Observer)


**Arguments:** `$ARGUMENTS` - optional:
- component/image/route to lazy load (targeted implementation)
- 'all' for comprehensive implementation
- Focus area: --images, --components, --routes (for specific optimizations)

<think>
Lazy loading requires understanding:
- Browser loading strategies and priorities
- Framework-specific lazy loading APIs
- Intersection Observer for viewport detection
- Route-based code splitting patterns
- Image loading strategies (native lazy, blur-up, LQIP)
- Performance trade-offs and user experience
</think>

## Phase 1: Framework Detection & Analysis

First, I'll detect your framework and analyze lazy loading opportunities:

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Lazy Loading Implementation - Framework Detection

echo "=== Lazy Loading Implementation ==="
echo ""

# Create lazy loading directory
mkdir -p .claude/lazy-loading
LAZY_DIR=".claude/lazy-loading"
IMPLEMENTATIONS="$LAZY_DIR/implementations"
mkdir -p "$IMPLEMENTATIONS"

detect_framework() {
    local framework=""

    if [ ! -f "package.json" ]; then
        echo "⚠️  No package.json found"
        echo "   This skill works best with JavaScript/TypeScript projects"
        echo "   However, I can still generate vanilla JS implementations"
        framework="vanilla"
    else
        echo "Analyzing project..."

        # Next.js detection
        if grep -q '"next"' package.json; then
            framework="nextjs"
            echo "✓ Next.js detected"

        # React detection
        elif grep -q '"react"' package.json; then
            framework="react"
            echo "✓ React detected"

        # Vue detection
        elif grep -q '"vue"' package.json; then
            framework="vue"
            echo "✓ Vue detected"

        # Angular detection
        elif grep -q '"@angular' package.json; then
            framework="angular"
            echo "✓ Angular detected"

        # Svelte detection
        elif grep -q '"svelte"' package.json; then
            framework="svelte"
            echo "✓ Svelte detected"

        else
            framework="vanilla"
            echo "✓ Vanilla JavaScript project"
        fi
    fi

    echo "$framework"
}

FRAMEWORK=$(detect_framework)

echo ""
echo "Framework: $FRAMEWORK"
echo ""

# Analyze current lazy loading usage
echo "Analyzing current lazy loading implementation..."
echo ""

# Check for existing lazy loading
EXISTING_LAZY_IMAGES=$(grep -r "loading=\"lazy\"\|loading='lazy'" --include="*.jsx" --include="*.tsx" --include="*.html" --include="*.vue" \
    --exclude-dir=node_modules . 2>/dev/null | wc -l)

EXISTING_LAZY_COMPONENTS=$(grep -r "React.lazy\|lazy(\|defineAsyncComponent\|loadChildren\|dynamic(" \
    --include="*.jsx" --include="*.tsx" --include="*.vue" --include="*.ts" \
    --exclude-dir=node_modules . 2>/dev/null | wc -l)

echo "Current implementation:"
echo "  Lazy-loaded images: $EXISTING_LAZY_IMAGES"
echo "  Lazy-loaded components: $EXISTING_LAZY_COMPONENTS"
echo ""

# Find opportunities
TOTAL_IMAGES=$(find . -name "*.jsx" -o -name "*.tsx" -o -name "*.html" -o -name "*.vue" | \
    xargs grep -h "<img\|<Image" 2>/dev/null | wc -l)

TOTAL_COMPONENTS=$(find src -name "*.jsx" -o -name "*.tsx" -o -name "*.vue" 2>/dev/null | wc -l)

echo "Opportunities:"
echo "  Total images: $TOTAL_IMAGES"
echo "  Total components: $TOTAL_COMPONENTS"
echo "  Lazy-loadable: $(($TOTAL_IMAGES - $EXISTING_LAZY_IMAGES)) images, $(($TOTAL_COMPONENTS - $EXISTING_LAZY_COMPONENTS)) components"
```

## Phase 2: Image Lazy Loading Implementation

# Lazy Loading Implementation Guide

**Generated:** $(date)
**Framework:** $FRAMEWORK

---

## Implementation Status

### Current State
- Lazy-loaded images: $EXISTING_LAZY_IMAGES
- Lazy-loaded components: $EXISTING_LAZY_COMPONENTS

### Opportunities
- Images that can be lazy-loaded: $(($TOTAL_IMAGES - $EXISTING_LAZY_IMAGES))
- Components that can be lazy-loaded: Check heavy components below

---

## Implementation Files

Generated implementations:

$(ls -1 "$IMPLEMENTATIONS" | sed 's/^/- /')

---

## Priority Implementation Plan

### Phase 1: Images (Immediate Impact)

1. **Below-the-fold images** (Critical)
   - Add \`loading="lazy"\` attribute
   - Expected savings: 30-50% faster initial load

2. **Hero images** (Keep eager loading)
   - First image should load immediately
   - Use \`loading="eager"\` or \`priority\`

3. **Gallery images** (High Priority)
   - Lazy load all gallery/grid images
   - Use Intersection Observer for better control

### Phase 2: Components (High Impact)

1. **Route-based splitting** (Critical)
   - Split each route into separate bundle
   - Expected savings: 40-60% smaller initial bundle

2. **Heavy components** (High Priority)
   - Charts (Chart.js, Recharts)
   - Rich text editors (Quill, Draft.js)
   - Video players
   - Maps (Google Maps, Mapbox)

3. **Modal/Dialog content** (Medium Priority)
   - Load modal content on demand
   - Savings: 10-20% bundle reduction

### Phase 3: Third-party Libraries (Medium Impact)

1. **Analytics**
   - Load after page interactive
   - Non-blocking

2. **Chat widgets**
   - Load after 2-3 seconds delay
   - Non-critical

3. **Social sharing**
   - Load on demand
   - User interaction triggered

## Framework-Specific Implementation

### $FRAMEWORK

$(case "$FRAMEWORK" in
    react)
        cat << 'REACT_GUIDE'
#### React Implementation

**Route-based splitting:**
\`\`\`jsx
import { lazy, Suspense } from 'react';

const Dashboard = lazy(() => import('./pages/Dashboard'));

<Suspense fallback={<Loading />}>
    <Dashboard />
</Suspense>
\`\`\`

**Component splitting:**
\`\`\`jsx
const HeavyChart = lazy(() => import('./components/Chart'));

{showChart && (
    <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading chart...</div>}>
        <HeavyChart data={chartData} />
    </Suspense>
)}
\`\`\`

**Best Practices:**
- Wrap route components in Suspense
- Use Error Boundaries for lazy components
- Provide meaningful loading states
- Prefetch critical routes on hover
REACT_GUIDE
        ;;
    nextjs)
        cat << 'NEXTJS_GUIDE'
#### Next.js Implementation

**Dynamic imports:**
\`\`\`jsx
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic';

const DynamicComponent = dynamic(() => import('../components/Heavy'), {
    loading: () => <p>Loading...</p>,
    ssr: false,  // Disable SSR if client-only
});
\`\`\`

**With named exports:**
\`\`\`jsx
const DynamicComponent = dynamic(
    () => import('../components/Multi').then(mod => mod.Specific)
);
\`\`\`

**Best Practices:**
- Use \`priority\` for above-fold images
- Disable SSR for client-only components
- Use dynamic imports for heavy components
- Leverage Next.js automatic code splitting
NEXTJS_GUIDE
        ;;
    vue)
        cat << 'VUE_GUIDE'
#### Vue Implementation

**Async components:**
\`\`\`javascript
import { defineAsyncComponent } from 'vue';

const AsyncComponent = defineAsyncComponent(() =>
    import('./components/Heavy.vue')
);
\`\`\`

**Route-based splitting:**
\`\`\`javascript
const routes = [
    {
        path: '/dashboard',
        component: () => import('./views/Dashboard.vue')
    }
];
\`\`\`

**Best Practices:**
- Use Suspense for async components
- Provide loading/error components
- Split routes automatically
- Lazy load heavy third-party components

## Performance Impact

### Expected Improvements

| Metric | Before | After | Improvement |
|--------|--------|-------|-------------|
| Initial Bundle | 500 KB | 200 KB | 60% reduction |
| First Load Time | 3.5s | 1.8s | 48% faster |
| LCP | 3.2s | 1.9s | 40% improvement |
| Time to Interactive | 4.1s | 2.3s | 43% faster |

### Core Web Vitals Impact

- **LCP**: Improved by lazy loading below-fold images
- **FID**: Better with smaller initial bundles
- **CLS**: Prevented by setting image dimensions

---

## Implementation Checklist

### Images
- [ ] Add \`loading="lazy"\` to below-fold images
- [ ] Set explicit width/height on all images
- [ ] Convert to WebP/AVIF formats
- [ ] Implement blur-up for hero images
- [ ] Use responsive images (srcset)

### Components
- [ ] Split routes with lazy imports
- [ ] Lazy load heavy components (charts, editors)
- [ ] Add Suspense boundaries
- [ ] Implement error boundaries
- [ ] Provide loading states

### Third-party
- [ ] Defer analytics loading
- [ ] Lazy load chat widgets
- [ ] Load social sharing on demand
- [ ] Async load ads/tracking scripts

---

## Testing

### Verify Implementation

1. **Check bundle sizes**
   \`\`\`bash
   npm run build
   # Check dist/build output
   \`\`\`

2. **Test with Lighthouse**
   \`\`\`bash
   /lighthouse
   \`\`\`

3. **Check Network tab**
   - Verify lazy-loaded resources load on scroll
   - Check bundle chunks are split correctly

4. **Test loading states**
   - Throttle network to 3G
   - Verify loading spinners appear
   - Check error boundaries work

### Performance Monitoring

\`\`\`javascript
// Monitor lazy component loading
const Dashboard = lazy(() => {
    const start = performance.now();
    return import('./Dashboard').then(module => {
        const duration = performance.now() - start;
        console.log(\`Dashboard loaded in \${duration}ms\`);
        return module;
    });
});
\`\`\`

---

## Common Issues

### 1. Loading State Flicker
**Problem:** Loading spinner appears briefly
**Solution:** Add delay before showing spinner

\`\`\`jsx
const [showLoading, setShowLoading] = useState(false);

useEffect(() => {
    const timer = setTimeout(() => setShowLoading(true), 200);
    return () => clearTimeout(timer);
}, []);
\`\`\`

### 2. Layout Shift
**Problem:** Images cause layout shift when loading
**Solution:** Always set dimensions

\`\`\`html
<img src="..." width="800" height="600" loading="lazy">
\`\`\`

### 3. SEO Concerns
**Problem:** Lazy-loaded content not indexed
**Solution:** Use SSR or ensure content loads quickly

---

## Integration

### With Other Skills

- \`/bundle-analyze\` - Identify heavy components to lazy load
- \`/lighthouse\` - Measure impact on performance scores
- \`/ci-setup\` - Add bundle size checks to CI

## Safety Guarantees

**What I'll NEVER do:**
- Lazy load critical above-the-fold content
- Skip loading states (causes poor UX)
- Ignore accessibility considerations
- Break SEO with improper lazy loading

**What I WILL do:**
- Provide framework-specific implementations
- Include proper loading states
- Maintain SEO compatibility
- Prevent layout shifts
- Generate production-ready code

## Credits

This skill is based on:
- **Intersection Observer API** - Modern lazy loading standard
- **React.lazy/Suspense** - React code splitting
- **Next.js Dynamic Imports** - Optimized Next.js patterns
- **Web.dev Lazy Loading Guide** - Best practices
- **Core Web Vitals** - Performance optimization guidelines

## Token Optimization

**Expected range**: 1,500–2,500 tokens (initial), 400–600 tokens (cache hit)

**Caching**: Caches framework detection and lazy loading inventory in `.claude/cache/lazy-loading/`. Invalidated when `package.json` changes.

**Early exit**: Returns immediately if all images and components are already lazy-loaded, or if no relevant files changed.

**Patterns used**: Grep-before-Read, early exit, git diff scope default, template-based generation, caching
