Mailchimp widget is very slow
-
I have put on a mailchimp popup widget and it seems to slow the loading of the page down so much that often the content of the blog in the background doesn’t load.
Does anyone else have this issue and is there a solution?

Because the MailChimp popup widget is relatively new, I’ve tagged this for Staff attention.

thanks justjennifer. I imagine that the fact that wordpress has to connect to my list on mailchimp is the thing that slow down the page?

Hi there,
Are you still experiencing slowdown when loading your site? It was maybe a tad slow when I visited, but it loaded just fine in about 8 seconds – pop up widget and everything. Also, once I refreshed the site, it loaded in no time at all.
We aren’t having any issues with the widget internally, but let me know if it is a still a problem on your end. Thanks!

staff-doublebassd – the order and the timing’s changed since the OP first posted. The first time around, the site was very slow to load in the background and the widget popped up first, then the site. As of now, the site loads first and then the widget. That has helped.
However, when compared to the Boardwalk demo site, it’s still much slower overall.

Hey there,
I did some testing and the pop up is coming up much quicker on both your site and my test blog. Are you still have delays?
-
Hello Darnell – it appears that we aren’t getting the delay any more. Did you change anything? thanks Jason

I can’t take credit for it. Must’ve been a temporary issue that worked itself out. When I tested recently, I didn’t experience the delay, so I take it that everything was fixed by the time I tried it.
Glad everything is good to go though! Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
