Summary

Keep Iframes and Your Website Speed

Description

What This Component Solves

Most iframe embeds load instantly, even if the visitor never scrolls to them. That can trigger heavy third-party scripts too early, increase network work, and hurt speed metrics.

Lazy IFrame delays the embed until it is actually needed, so your above-the-fold experience stays lightweight and responsive.

Core Features

  • Loads the iframe only when it enters view using IntersectionObserver

  • Loads once per URL to avoid duplicate work

  • Uses requestIdleCallback when available to mount during idle time

  • Holds layout space to avoid layout shift while loading

  • Works responsively inside Framer layouts

  • No external dependencies

Loading Experience

Instead of a blank box, Lazy IFrame can show a minimal glass-style loader that looks like a lightweight dashboard placeholder. This makes the loading state feel intentional and premium, without distracting motion.

  • Structured UI skeleton placeholder

  • Subtle shimmer animation

  • Customizable surface, accent, and shimmer speed

  • Keeps the page stable while the iframe initializes
