Description

When loading a page, all the elements rendered by my own server load almost instantly but the shopify components take another 500-1000ms or so to show up. Toggling iframe and whether the javascript is served locally has no effect.

Does anyone have a work around for this? I'd prefer not to add a spinner

Research direction

Reproduce the page-load behavior and compare when the server-rendered elements and Shopify components appear. Check the effect of iframe usage and serving the JavaScript locally, then identify a practical workaround that removes or reduces the 500–1000 ms delay without requiring a spinner.
