    Nice plugin!

    Anyone noticed that a “Silent Remote Sending” takes about 5-10 seconds before it gets submitted, and the redirect page comes up?

    I have turned off the e-mail sending function. I’m only using the “Silent Remote Sending”, method post. I’m adding some key value pairs and renaming some fields and removing some.

    The php file that the form submitts to takes less than a second to post to when I create a HTML form with same post variables.

    Is there a setting I’m missing?
    I’m using version 3.0.

    (Suggestion: do something to make the user not scroll so much. Some small javascrip hiding maybe..?)

    Thanks!

    The URL you are posting the “Silent Remote Sending” to probably has a delay in connecting or processing the request.

    When I create a plain html form in WP, and set up all the fields that are created through si-contact-form. When I then submit to the same URL, it takes less than a second to respond. There is no delay from the remote action. Any clues?

    “Silent Remote Sending” uses the WordPress wp_remote_post api function to support multiple available HTTP request methods. This is required for server compatibility because some servers do not have CURL and it can fallback to fsocketopen instead of failing the request.

    My guess is that one of the methods on your server does not work, so after a timeout, it tries another one. Do you experience delays with WP plugin autoupdates? If you do, this is related.

    Make sure your server is PHP5, if it is PHP4, upgrade to PHP5.
    See if your server has CURL enabled, if not, enable it.
