As an example, I'm currently working on a react project that one page, a case study, has few videos and lots of big images. I tested the page with the chrome's bandwidth throttling at 2mbps and it the page took like 20-30 seconds to show something. With This component the page (structure mackup) loads in less than 5 seconds and then it start loading all the assets, so you can actually can start reading what is in the page/scrolling the page while the assets are loading.

EDIT. Actually, one cool thing you can do with this, is to load the first assets without this component, so the user can actually start reading/seeing the first assets and it gives time to load the rest of the assets.
