Lazy Loader

Load plugins with a delay on startup, so that you can get your app startup down into the sub-second loading time.

  • Overview

Load plugins with a delay on Obsidian startup, so that you can get your app startup down into the sub-second loading time.

Important note #1: It may take up to 2 restarts of Obsidian to see the full speed increase, if it's the first time you're using the plugin. This will only be an issue on the first install.

Important note #2: There is no way for this plugin to know if you've manaully disabled or enabled a plugin. If you want disabling a plugin to persist through an Obsidian restart, make sure you disable it inside Lazy Loader's settings page rather than simply disabling the plugin in Obsidian's plugins page.

About
Delay plugin loading on Obsidian startup to push nonessential plugins into timed background loads and reduce initial app launch to sub-second times. Apply changes over up to two restarts to reach full speed; disable plugins inside Lazy Loader settings to keep them disabled across restarts.
