Slow performance due to Spyc dependency

    Hi, when analysing performance of your plugin on my websites, I noticed that the vendor dependency you have on the Spyc code (https://github.com/mustangostang/spyc/) is causing huge performance issues with page load and (php) script executions.

    Please have a look on the matter as it impacts user experience very negatively (bad core web vital scores as the page loads are slow)

    Thanks.

    hi, i am surprised by your reply which lacks any solution or progress. In your last 2 updates, i still see the dependency on the SPYC library.

    See the screenshot here (https://ibb.co/QXbfBJ0) with the latest execution of “Code Profiler Pro” where you can see that your plugin “BetterLinks” is the most mentioned in the top longest execution scripts, and mainly because of the SPYC dependecy.

    To reproduce, create a demo woocommerce site, and add your plugin with a couple of links, then run codeprofiler…

    Hello @amirhmoradi
    We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. To clarify, BetterLinks does not utilize the SPYC library on the frontend. The SPYC dependency is only leveraged by the Device Detector module, which is used on the fly only when a short link is clicked & tracking is Disable . This does not impact the site performance.

    Based on our findings, since SPYC is not used in any frontend operations, we requested additional details to ensure we address your concerns comprehensively.

    If you encounter any Actual performance impacts caused by BetterLinks , we would greatly appreciate it if you could provide specific examples or test cases. Our team is more than happy to investigate and address any legitimate issues as quickly as possible.

    That said, we do plan to update the Device Detector in the future to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.

    Hope you understand
