## What it is
React Loadable is a higher-order component for loading React components with dynamic imports, enabling code splitting with a loading state. It also supports server-side rendering of dynamically imported components.

## Use cases
- lazy load React components with a loading placeholder
- split my React bundle to reduce initial load size
- code splitting with React Router v4
- server-side render dynamically imported React components
- defer loading heavy components until they are needed
- show a loading spinner while a component chunk loads

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy React app already using react-loadable
- working on an old codebase with webpack and babel that predates React.lazy
- you need SSR-aware code splitting in a pre-React 16.6 project

## When to avoid
- starting a new React project - use React.lazy and Suspense instead
- using modern bundlers or frameworks with built-in code splitting like Next.js
- you need an actively maintained library with ongoing support
