The loading of recaptcha on my Hubspot forms is harming my performance score by 15 points. I am hoping to find a solutions to defer the loading of these forms. I have done a lot of digging and cannot find anything. Has anyone found any solutions with HubL?
Hi!
Defering forms is not possible as far as i know, and the recaptcha is a challange. There are a couple things you can do, but thats mainly around the form than the form itself. So if the website is up to speed, this wont be an issue.
The 15 points for performance sounds harmfull, but in truth it’s not that big of a deal if the rest is fine. The “points” system is mainly a guide, but has little to nothing to do with real world situations.
About the form:
If it’s on a landing page where you want to convert, there is not much to do. If you have an optimized website, i doubt it will be an issue for your conversions. If it’s on all pages, concider creating a dedicated landingpage. In my opinion, there should never be a form that is so important that it has to be at all pages. In my recent years working with HubSpot websites, the form itself is never the problem, it’s often the overuse of it.
Try to disable recaptcha and check after a couple weeks if you really need te extra check. Often, websites overuse recaptcha in my opinion. Many times sites do not get spammed trough the form, so no need for another piece of secuirity.
