While I agree wholeheartedly with @allieccollins, it would be helpful to get some technical suggestions from an expert (given a fix isn’t coming any time soon, if ever.)
I have a web developer ready to help improve our site performance with Hubspot, but we have nowhere to turn for best practices and workarounds.
The best we have so far is:
- Strip away all 3rd party tracking scripts (Google Adwords, LinkedIn, etc) and rely entirely on Hubspot.
- Do the same with our 3rd party cookie banner - we’re loading all that HS code regardless, we might as well use it.
- Replace all our Hubspot forms with old-fashioned HTML. We’ll lose all the HS form functionality we’re paying for, but at least it’ll load in a reasonable time.
EDIT: it turned out this isn’t a viable solution. Hubspot still requires 3rd party tracking pixels for all PPC platforms for audience generation, which also means we can’t use the Hubspot privacy banner. Back to the drawing board.
