Page Lifecycle

Freeze/Resume Detection

The Page Lifecycle API lets developers detect and respond to changes in a web page's visibility and lifecycle state, such as when a page is loaded, hidden, frozen, or about to be unloaded.

Demo

Switch to another browser tab, to see information about the page lifecycle below.

Use cases

The API complements the Page Visibility API but provides additional information. It also includes a wasDiscarded flag, which allows developers to detect when a frozen tab has been discarded (removed from memory) and requires a full page reload upon restoration. In such cases, the flag is set to true.
