Pre Party Hints Pro – a real drag

    I’m in the middle of vetting about 60 plugins for a 9,000-page site.

    I check the Fully loaded time” on GTMtrix after activating each plugin one at a time – clearing the Cloudflare cache and then running the speed test.

    The free version garnered negative .5 secs (I’m on a $300/mo cloud server)

    I paid my 9 bucks installed the pro version flushed the cache hit re-test and end up at 23.1 seconds – formally 8.5 – all on Android

    I deleted both plugins

    @windycityparrot Thanks for contacting me about this. There are some things to keep in mind about how these two plugins work:

    1) the first time you load a page after the free plugin has been installed, it will fire a JS script which collects the data necessary to automatically create preconnect hints. All subsequent page loads will be faster with the help of those hints, and that JS script will not load thereafter. I took a look at your site and noticed about 10 resources that are being loaded from external sites, whose performance/loading time can be improved with preconnect hints.

    2) Every time I have tested the execution time of the “pro” version, the code has only taken a few microseconds to execute. So the excessive load time has got to be for some other reason. Personally I have found the load times and report data from GTmetrix to vary quite a bit, so I prefer webpagetest.org. I suggest installing it a second time, loading the front end, and then testing it again (twice to be sure).

    Hope this info helps, and please let me know if you would like any further clarification.

    Closing out ticket.
