I am creating a dynamic carousel and the views being called in the carousels have 6 embedded view in them which makes the page heavy.

I wanted to know if their was a way for me to pre-load these views so it would not take so long to load when viewing those views in the browser

What version of Ignition are you using?  
If `lazyLoad` is set to `true`, then only one View will load when the component starts up.  
If you’re using `autoPlay` to cycle through the views in the carousel, then even with lazyLoad active the component will still load the views when the component starts. One thing you could try is leaving `autoPlay` off, then switching that property to `true` _after_ the page has loaded.

One setup I have for something similar is a Gateway Timer script which broadcasts a “start” message. I have a boolean property on my Carousel and when the carousel hears the message it toggles the custom property to true. When it hears the message a second time, the carousel then toggles autoplay. This prevents instances where the carousel might hear the message immediately.
