+Top-level lazy components will automatically be preloaded as well as their preload functions.

+To preload such components, you can use the `preload` method exposed on the lazy component

 import { lazy } from "solid-js"
 import type { Component } from "solid-js"
 
+const Nested = lazy(() => import("./Nested"))

+### Type Parameters
 
-```tsx
-// wrap import
-const ComponentA = lazy(() => import("./ComponentA"));
+| Name | Constraint | Description |
+| ---- | ---------- | ----------- |
+| `T`  | `Component<any>` | The component type that will be lazily loaded (including its props).
+
+### Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
+| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
+| `fn` | `() => Promise<{ default: T }>` | Yes | A function that returns a dynamic import resolving to the component as the `default` export. |
+
+### Returns
+
+| Type | Description |
+| ---- | ----------- |
+| `T & { preload: () => Promise<T> }` | A renderable component compatible with `T` that also exposes a `preload()` method to eagerly load the module. |
 
-// use in JSX
-<ComponentA title={props.title} />

+title: Preloading
+---
+
+Anchors in Solid Router will preload routes by default on link hover/focus to improve perceived performance.
+
+To enhance preloading, you can define the `preload` function on your route definition.
+When on a [SolidStart](/solid-start) application, this function can also run on the server during the initial page load to start fetching data before rendering. When in a Single-Page Application (SPA), it will load the route's component and its `preload` function when the user hovers or focuses on a link.
+
+| user action | route behavior                          |
+| ----------- | -------------------------------------- |
+| hover   | with a 300ms delay to avoid excessive preloading  |
+| focus   | immediately                           |
+
+## Imperative Preloading
+
+You can also use the [`usePreloadRoute`](/solid-router/reference/primitives/use-preload-route) helper to preload routes programmatically in response to events other than link hover/focus, such as button clicks or timers.
+This helper will load only the route's component by default, but it can receive a configuration object to also load the data.
+
+## Preloading and Lazy Loading
+
+When a route has nested lazy components, such components will not be part of the route hierarchy, so they **will not** be preloaded with the route. To preload such components, you can use the [`usePreloadRoute`](/solid-router/reference/primitives/use-preload-route) helper in the parent component to load them when needed.
+
+To learn more about lazy loading components, see the [`lazy`](/reference/component-apis/lazy#preloading-data-in-nested-lazy-components) documentation.
