# Instant prompt
|
|
|
|
If your `~/.zshrc` loads many plugins, or perhaps just a few slow ones
|
|
(for example, [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) or [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm)), you
|
|
may have noticed that it takes some time for Zsh to start.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Powerlevel10k can remove Zsh startup lag **even if it's not caused by a theme**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This feature is called *Instant Prompt*. You need to explicitly enable it through `p10k configure`
|
|
or [manually](#how-do-i-enable-instant-prompt). It does what it says on the tin -- prints prompt
|
|
instantly upon Zsh startup allowing you to start typing while plugins are still loading.
|
|
|
|
Other themes *increase* Zsh startup lag -- some by a lot, others by a just a little. Powerlevel10k
|
|
*removes* it outright.
