# Async Component Best Practices
**Impact: MEDIUM** - Async components should reduce JavaScript cost without degrading perceived performance. Focus on hydration timing in SSR and stable loading UX.
## Task List
- Use lazy hydration strategies for non-critical SSR component trees
- Import only the hydration helpers you actually use
- Keep `loadingComponent` delay near the default `200ms` unless real UX data suggests otherwise
- Configure `delay` and `timeout` together for predictable loading behavior
## Use Lazy Hydration Strategies in SSR
In Vue 3.5+, async components can delay hydration until idle time, visibility, media query match, or user interaction.
**BAD:**
```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { defineAsyncComponent } from 'vue'
const AsyncComments = defineAsyncComponent({
loader: () => import('./Comments.vue')
})
</script>
```
**GOOD:**
```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import {
defineAsyncComponent,
hydrateOnVisible,
hydrateOnIdle
} from 'vue'
const AsyncComments = defineAsyncComponent({
loader: () => import('./Comments.vue'),
hydrate: hydrateOnVisible({ rootMargin: '100px' })
})
const AsyncFooter = defineAsyncComponent({
loader: () => import('./Footer.vue'),
hydrate: hydrateOnIdle(5000)
})
</script>
```
## Prevent Loading Spinner Flicker
Avoid showing loading UI immediately for components that usually resolve quickly.
**BAD:**
```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { defineAsyncComponent } from 'vue'
import LoadingSpinner from './LoadingSpinner.vue'
const AsyncDashboard = defineAsyncComponent({
loader: () => import('./Dashboard.vue'),
loadingComponent: LoadingSpinner,
delay: 0
})
</script>
```
**GOOD:**
```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { defineAsyncComponent } from 'vue'
import LoadingSpinner from './LoadingSpinner.vue'
import ErrorDisplay from './ErrorDisplay.vue'
const AsyncDashboard = defineAsyncComponent({
loader: () => import('./Dashboard.vue'),
loadingComponent: LoadingSpinner,
errorComponent: ErrorDisplay,
delay: 200,
timeout: 30000
})
</script>
```
## Delay Guidelines
| Scenario | Recommended Delay |
|----------|-------------------|
| Small component, fast network | `200ms` |
| Known heavy component | `100ms` |
| Background or non-critical UI | `300-500ms` |
