+
+    Lazy props are excluded from the initial page load and only sent when

+    This optimizes initial page load by deferring non-critical data.
+
+    There are two use cases for lazy():
+
+    **1. Static Value (bandwidth optimization)**:
+        The value is computed eagerly but only sent during partial reloads.
+        Use when the value is cheap to compute but you want to reduce initial payload.

+        >>> lazy("user_count", len(users))
+
+    **2. Callable (bandwidth + CPU optimization)**:
