Code Load
Noun · Development
Definitions
The act or result of loading code into a runtime so it can be parsed, linked, or executed. Code load behavior matters in large applications because startup time, lazy loading, plugin discovery, and dependency resolution all depend on when code is brought into memory.
In plain English: The process of loading code into a program's runtime.
Example: "The startup regression came from loading every plugin at boot instead of deferring code load until the relevant feature path was actually used."
