Bugs and Suggestions to improve speed of plugin

    Currently, the most important thing for website owners is speed as it is already becoming an influencing factor in google rankings, and using the Google Pagespeed test, gave me recommendations to do that will improve the page load time by a big margin.

    1- Preload key requests – Consider using <link rel=preload> to prioritize fetching resources that are currently requested later in page load.

    Css file location in the plugin: wp-table-builder/inc/frontend/css/wp-table-builder-frontend.css?version=1.3.2

    Doing this would potentially save 1230 ms of delay.

    2- I noticed something strange when inspecting the DOM (as per google recommendation it found that I have too many <br> elements on the page) and after inspecting it, I found the plugin to be doing breaks on many cells of the table.

    And after carefully checking the issue, I found out that it happens in places where the height of the cell was not enough and had to add another line (for text for example on 2 separate lines) and also in cells where I use bold text.

    3- I noticed that when you insert a button in a table, a button icon element will always be inserted even if there is no usage of any icon, which is kind of bloated so I hope this gets fixed as well.

    Hello @froughtz,

    Thank you for your suggestions.

    1- Unfortunately browser support for preload is still not as wide as it can be considered as an html standard. We are watching changes on different browser types and their latest additions to use newer and better technology.

    2- We will investigate this. It might be related to html parser of the different browsers.

    3- Because of some internal workings of the plugin source, this was the way the button element icon had to be implemented so that it will still be compatible with older buttons that created before that functionality, but we will look at it for future releases.

    Best regards.

    Thanks, @erdembircan for the response. As always I think that if there is something that doesn’t have enough support in browsers then a checkbox in the settings would do the job for those who want to enable it.

    As always keep the good work with the plugin, I love it ??
