# `preloadRouteComponents`
`preloadRouteComponents` allows you to manually preload individual pages in your Nuxt app.
> Preloading routes loads the components of a given route that the user might navigate to in future. This ensures that the components are available earlier and less likely to block the navigation, improving performance.
::alert
Nuxt already automatically preloads the necessary routes if you're using the `NuxtLink` component.

## Example
Preload a route when using `navigateTo`.
```ts
// we don't await this async function, to avoid blocking rendering
// this component's setup function
preloadRouteComponents('/dashboard')
const submit = async () => {
const results = await $fetch('/api/authentication')
if (results.token) {
await navigateTo('/dashboard')
}
}
```

Currently, on server, `preloadRouteComponents` will have no effect.
