I have a dashboard with 20+ visualizations and it takes some time to load all the widgets.
So is there a way to avoid loading all the widgets upfront but rather load the widgets on demand from a pool of available widgets.
Or
Is there a way to lazy load the widgets such that the top 3 loads first and the rest later?
This is so that our customers don't wait for a long time to view the dashboard.

What version of kibana are you using? Do you use the custom widgets or only Kibana built-in visualizations? Unfortunately right now there's no control over how you load it, but there are some improvements in the newest versions.

We use Kibana version 7.16.3. We have a dashboard which has both Vega visuals and Kibana built-in widgets. Can you please point me to the documentation where these improvements are described?
Thanks.

By improvements I meant continuous efforts towards limiting bundle sizing, caching ES requests, both in separate visualizations and in the dashboard, some changes of architecture etc. It's hard to pinpoint a single issue describing it, one of them would be [here](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/58280).
I see that you're on one of the newest version so the slowness probably won't improve much if you upgrade.
According to [this issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/99880) lazy load should already work though in Dashboard, but it tries rendering everything in the window view. I am afraid the better solution doesn't exist at this point.
