Good plugin – still some performance issues to iron out

  • I like this plugin, and I use it on my website, but it loads a very large css file, as well as an external icon font. Both seriously slow down my website.

    Would be good to pay some attention to performance in the next iteration.

    In terms of functionality: great stuff!

    Would you please let us know where are you facing the performance downgrade?

    Is it on the front-end or on the back-end?

    We’ll take a look at our plugin thoroughly and optimize the plugin as much as we can.

    Hopefully, we’ll update the plugin within the next 24-48 hours.

    We can assure you that you will see a considerable performance upgrade in the next version of our plugin.

    It’s the icon font that was really slowing down the site, because it was blocking other things to load, I guess. I solved it by adding

    <link rel=”preload” href=”/wp-content/plugins/hashbar-wp-notification-bar/fonts/Material-Design-Iconic-Font.woff2?v=2.2.0″ as=”font” type=”font/woff2″ crossorigin=”anonymous”>

    to my header. Now it preloads.

    The other thing is the 70kb css file. Does it have to be that big? 99.8% of the css is unused on my site. But that is a smaller issue, all plugins seem to do have a similar problem so I guess it is difficult to solve.

    Otherwise, really good plugin, and thanks for taking the time to reply! I already added an extra star to my review.
