NOTE: This answer is due to confusion. The OP is not using React but the report includes the React example. This might be helpful to others anyways.

If your components are loaded dynamically ( only after a user request for it ).

You can use React.lazy() as suggested in the report for code splitting so that you don't load the large bundle when not necessary.

This solution is for non SSR.

BEFORE:

import ComponentB from './ComponentB';

function ComponentA() {
  return (
    <>
        {/* After certain action probably like routes switch or any? */}
        <ComponentB />
    </>
  );
}

AFTER:

import React, { lazy } from 'react';
const ComponentB = lazy(() => import("./ComponentB.js"));

function ComponentA() {
  return (
    <>
        {/* After certain action probably like routes switch or any? */}
        <ComponentB />
    </>
  );
}

You could load your script files on scroll. When the user starts to scroll down you append the script tag to your head and remove the event listener again.

Only add scripts that arent in the viewport at the beginning like recaptchas. The are usually somehwere at the bottom.

function dynamicLoad(url) {
  var script = document.createElement("script");
  script.type = "text/javascript";
  script.src = url;
  document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(script);
}
window.addEventListener("scroll", loadScripts);

function loadScripts() {
  //load here as many dynamic scripts as you want
  dynamicLoad("recaptcha url");
  dynamicLoad("facebook.net url");
  //end ------
  window.removeEventListener("scroll", loadScripts);
}
