Lazy Loading
So this template takes 9-10 seconds to build. That means that every page that uses it takes an additional 9-10 seconds to load. Proposal: lazy load the template. In other words, rather than actually loading the template onto the page, place its closed form on the page, then only load it if a user manually tries to open it.


 * Advantage: all pages using this navbox load 10 seconds faster
 * Disadvantage: 10 second delay when someone tries to open the box the first time

This idea could also be applied to other navboxes, as navboxes have a strong tendency to be the most time-consuming elements of pages, and 10-15-second page load times seem to be an issue. PaladinAHOne (talk) 00:03, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
