LazyLoad is a tiny (~966 bytes) dependency-free JavaScript utility for dynamically loading external JS and CSS files on demand, with parallel loading and execution-order guarantees where possible. It is explicitly unmaintained and should be treated as legacy.
Use cases
- load javascript files on demand in the browser
- dynamically load css stylesheets at runtime
- load multiple scripts in order with a callback
- tiny dependency-free script loader for legacy browsers
- defer loading of js and css until needed
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy codebase that already uses it
- you need an extremely small loader for very old browsers (IE6+, old Safari/Firefox) and accept no maintenance
When to avoid
- starting any new project - use native ES modules or a modern loader instead
- you need dependency management, AMD/CommonJS support, or active maintenance
- you need parallel script loading with guaranteed order in modern browsers
