    I can say I have it running on a site with 400k+ uniques a month with no problems. The code itself uses core WordPress APIs (Custom Post Types) and metadata to create the positions, so it’s cacheable and everything without needing custom implementation. The JS itself is also very lightweight. The source code is available for you to checkout here: https://github.com/ThatGerber/dfp-ads

    The library here doesn’t use jQuery, because I didn’t want to include a JS dependency where it wasn’t needed, especially jQuery. The plugin marks it as a dependency, but that’s for extentions (though it probably could be removed). Check out this talk on [why you don’t need jquery](https://wordpress.tv/2014/05/08/josh-broton-you-dont-need-jquery/) – Slides here: https://github.com/joshbroton/you-dont-need-jquery

    Thanks for you insights Chris.
    I plan to implement sitewide using your DFP Ad Manager plugin, to a site with approx. 1-mil page views per month.
    Will let you know how it goes.
    My thinking is page load should be better, since with the plugin we’ll be able to use async ad loading, that should help a lot, esp. on days when Google DFP may be running sluggish.

    I’ve not had any problems on this particular site with the plugin.

    In some of my other threads, I was speaking to some bugs in the ads not appearing as they should/where they should.
    It may have been a conflict with that particular theme, on that first site I experimented with.
    On I’m planning to implement in the next few days, testing and setup went smooth as silk with DFP Ad Manager, on the dev site.
    Hoping moving to the live site goes as well.
    Our servers did not like WordPress 4.3 so I may wait until 4.3.1 is out of the box, to go ahead. Just depends, the marketing/sales dept. wanted to launch impressions based ad sales on Sept. 1, waiting to hear from them also.

    Thanks again for all your hard work, and brain-power on this plugin!
