I have noticed that FB comments take ages to load. Is there any way to enable its loading while the rest of the page is loading. It usually starts loading when everything else in the page has been loaded.
I am using Fb official document to make changes in header.php and Sigle_template files to activate fb plugin for my website.
You can likely add async to the script loading, if not there already.
This should be covered in the FB comments docs, as not part of theme.
Thanks, Chris. I have thoroughly studied FB comments doc. It didn’t find this. However, I did add this
js.async=false;
But still, fb comments load very slow.
and also js.async=true; . Tried both
well, if you want it to load async, you need the async=true…
of course, you’re still dependent on FB waiting for it to load.
Maybe somebody else using the FB comments can pitch in. We stopped using it due to the speed issue, which was worse than Disqus. We’re pondering actually going back to built in comments in WP… (gasp!) 🙂
Yesss, the speed issue is bad. It is slowing down the page speed by at least 1-2 sec. Fb has to speed it up somehow.
Maybe somebody has solved it? Maybe by getting in CloudFlare or something.
Update:
After I integrated fb comments into the mobile theme as well. Its performance has greatly improved.
