If you have lots of posts in your custom post type, loading them on the page load can impact the page load time. Adding a delay on the custom posts load can improve the page load time as it will load the posts only when users scroll down to the section.

With the Dynamic Listing widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor, you can easily delay the loading of the custom posts of your custom post type by using the preloader feature.
