Gatsby Plugin Fix FOUC is a plugin that solves flash of unstyled content.

Adds a data attribute to the <body> element that hides the page until the initial render of Gatsby App is done on the client, so that the awful flicker is not shown to you.
This approach is also used by Google. Does not re-rendering and has no impact on performance and accessibility.
Lighthouse scores will decrease. (First Contentful Paint, Largest Contentful Paint) as a result, it may affect SEO. (but, Cumulative Layout Shift scores improve.)
You can specify the width that does not hide the screen by setting minWidth.
yarn add gatsby-plugin-fix-fouc
# or
npm install gatsby-plugin-fix-fouc// gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
plugins: [`gatsby-plugin-fix-fouc`],
};// gatsby-config.ts
import { breakpoints } from "./src/themes";
import type { GatsbyConfig } from "gatsby";
import type { GatsbyPluginFixFoucRefOptions } from "gatsby-plugin-fix-fouc";
const config: GatsbyConfig = {
plugins: [
{
resolve: `gatsby-plugin-fix-fouc`,
options: {
attributeName: "is-loading",
minWidth: breakpoints.values.sm,
timeout: 3000,
} as GatsbyPluginFixFoucRefOptions,
},
],
};
