# Defer Loading Inactive Lightning Console Workspace Pages

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.

Note

Regardless of whether the setting is enabled or disabled, content in [pinned regions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.console_lex_custom_pages.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Use the Lightning App Builder to create custom Lightning pages to ensure that your console users always have the records they need in a layout that works best for them.") 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](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_console.meta/api_console/sforce_api_console_lex_getting_started.htm) 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**.
