Prefer asynchronous resources

Thanks for reporting this kksenyak, but I’m not following you. What’s the issue exactly? Rgds, John

In order to increase the speed of my wordpress site, GTmetrix is suggesting to make the twitter widget load assynchronously. I hoped somebody could tell me how to do it. I googled, and lots of people are suggesting to change the code. I have no idea where this code might be.

If you have our plugin activated, is the loading speed of your site significantly worse?

Well, activating the plugin makes me go from an A to a B in Yslow of GTmetrix from a number of reasons including the asynchronous loading of twitter.

Yslow is asking me to Add Expires headers

Thanks for that, we’ll look into it, however it may take a while as we’re currently overloaded with other requests.

Hi kksenyak,

We looked into our codes, and discovered that they are already optimized. We’ve already stopped including the scripts which were needed in the admin panel, in addition we have included the scripts needed by the plugin in the footer.

If you use the plugin in multiple places (widgets, floating, shortcode etc) then for each instance of the plugin the fb, twitter, add this js will be called which will slow the load speed. These are third party js which are needed for sharing functionality.

Rgds, John
