Description

Describe the bug
  • On the JSON Schema Tooling page, when refreshing the page (F5), the UI briefly renders with the default "Group By: Tooling Type" option before switching to the previously selected value (such as "None" or "Language").

  • This causes a visible flicker where the tooling list and grouping briefly change, resulting in a confusing and unpolished user experience.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Go to https://json-schema.org/tools
  2. Change the "Group By" option to "None" or "Language"
  3. Press F5 to refresh the page
  4. Observe that the page briefly renders grouped by "Tooling Type" before switching to the selected option
Expected Behavior
  • The page should render directly in the correct "Group By" state on load, without briefly showing the default grouping or triggering a visible UI transition.
