Defer Loading Inactive Lightning Console Workspace Pages

Defer Loading Inactive Lightning Console Workspace Pages

The “Defer loading inactive console workspace pages” setting improves performance by minimizing extra page loads. For example, if this setting is enabled and you use a navigation rule to open a workspace page, then the page doesn’t load until the user navigates to that page. This setting is enabled by default.

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience

Available in: Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions

Lightning console apps are available for an extra cost to users with Salesforce Platform user licenses for certain products. Some restrictions apply. For pricing details, contact your Salesforce account executive.

User Permissions Needed
To enable or disable this setting: Customize Application
Note
Note

Regardless of whether the setting is enabled or disabled, content in pinned regions is always considered active and loads immediately.

This setting can cause customizations that rely on immediately loading a workspace page, such as a timer that starts when a page opens, to function improperly. Before you turn off this setting, consider refactoring your code by using the Lighting Console API so that the functionality isn’t dependent on the page immediately loading. Turning off the setting can have a negative effect on console performance.

To turn off this setting, from Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Console Settings, and select Console Workspace Page Loading Preference. Then turn off Defer loading inactive console workspace pages.
