I had the privilege of being a guest speaker at the React NYC Meetup on 2/28/18. In this talk, we explore the concept of lazy loading which involves deferring loading content in order to optimize content delivery and improve website performance. We walk through the process of how to wrap components that we want to lazy load using the open source package I wrote called “simple-react-intersection-observer”, analyze the source code, and discuss practical use cases.
