Performance issues

  • I wanted to use this plugin on my book review site to list other reviews at the end of my review. As far as function goes, it was easy to install, configure and incorporate into my site. Unfortunately, it caused some performance problems and made my site slow.

    I ran GTmetrix on my page after installing the plugin and it increased my load time from 1.33 seconds to 28.88 seconds and dropped both my Page Speed and Yslow scores from As to Bs.

    If performance isn’t an issue, it’s a fine plugin. It’s easy to use and does what it is supposed to do.

    Hello, thatposhgirl.

    Thanks for trying GoodReviews. Are you using version 2.0.1?

    Also, I’m actually in the process of updating the plugin to specifically address performance. I hope to release the new version within a few weeks.

    Yes, 2.0.1. I like what the plugin does, I just can’t afford the slow down. I’ll keep an eye out for the new version.

    Here are the GTmetrix reports both with and without the plugin, if it might help:
