What is your fallback strategy when JavaScript fails to load

Partial script failure still happens in production. What progressive enhancement approach keeps critical paths usable when JS is delayed or broken.

How common of a problem is this? Sounds like a network connectivity issue.

It happens often enough that I treat it as a normal failure mode, not just a rare connectivity glitch. My fallback is progressive enhancement: ship usable HTML first, then layer JavaScript on top so core content and actions still work if scripts fail.
