Wordpress Plugin Reduces Site Performance

Hi everyone,

@MiaSrebrnjak got my attention that this is still an ongoing issue for many of you. I would love to try and help.

I run website with the HubSpot All-In-One Marketing - Forms, Popups, Live Chat and the Gravity Forms HubSpot Add-On plugin to connect HubSpot with a WordPress site. The site itself has visitors from allover the world and has an average LCP load of 1.8 s. The CRUX data: Site speed audit for www.moso-bamboo.com – Treo

What are some key pointers that we did on the site:

  • Have really good hosting (savvvii.com)
  • Optimize the website by
    • Minimizing the weight of images
    • Lazyloading images
    • use as few as posible third-party domains
    • local host and preload fonts
    • Make sure the <head> is ordend in a reasonable way.
  • And importantly, educate the client how to keep it fast :wink:

On the HubSpot part, keep the following in mind:

  • if you use a pop-up anywhere, the script is loaded on every page (sadly)
  • If you use the HS chat - delay it for 7 seconds after a users gets on the page
  • Anything page-based or page-determaind setting is checked on every page, and if the conditions match, HS will load the rest. So try to do a little as possible.
  • HubSpot CTA’s are slow. Try to avoid them and use tracking url’s and parameters instead.

If you have detailed questions, give me an url to your site and i’ll run a quickanalysis of what i see.
