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
