Adds 24 seconds to site loadtime (V1.4)

And the bonus info is that the long load times is related to Comments. Disabling FB comment decreases load times

The comments plugin has up to two remote calls to Facebook servers to generate content for the page, which is then cached for 15 minutes.

• return something meaningful for get_comments_number()
• Generate a noscript fallback for comments stored on Facebook servers

You can unhook the get_comments_number filter function if you don’t care about returning an accurate int for the function. You can blank out the facebook_comments_wrapper filter to not generate noscript comments.

These requests should all fall under a default WordPress configuration of a 5 second timeout or your site’s http_request_timeout override value.

Sound like I have to dive into the plugin code to fix this. Not an options as, I then would need to do this every time there is an update.

I’m aiming for a complete web site load time in 4 sec or less so any plugin with a 5 second time out for, lets say 10 posts with comment is not want I’m looking for.

Social Post also changed so only the link is showing up on FB groups. Any thing on this issue?

Whole site became way tooo slow after update.

Diveing is not an option for most of the users…
