NB- to add some context, as i’ve found another support thread where you advised that loading content like videos in a popup means they load on every page rather than just where popup are active- we’re running two popups, as follows:
1: a standard popup loading across the site, serving a notice about cookies, with a normal trigger and close trigger, containing only text and some links. 2: a popup containing a subscription form which has an inline script call to the google recaptcha api and Js library. This popup also uses a custom Javascript trigger to close it on form submission, and uses the advanced targeting conditions extension to hide it from people with a specific referer (this is to stop existing subscribers seeing the popup when coming via the email newsletter)
Since you mentioned the content will be loaded individually on every page, is it possible this approach is slowing things down? it’d be feasible to call the script in the footer / in functions.php instead and just have the markup for the recaptcha box in the popup?

Having a similar issue myself- seems to be more noticeable since the most recent wordpress update? i found my speed improved slightly if i turned off the open count analytics in the plugin admin – might be worth a shot? be interested to see if anyone else has this issue. FWIW i’m also using the advanced targeting conditions extension (support thread already raised)
