When your posts get a lot of comments, performance can be a concern. The generation of the comment HTML and the delivery of all that HTML can slow down your page loads. This plugin has pages load without comments, and then uses a secondary AJAX request to pull down the comments.<\/strong> Navigating through the pages of comments is also handled via AJAX. On my test install with 100 comments per page, the onload<\/code> event fires 2x faster. The HTML is generated by the server 6x faster. The HTML downloads 3x faster. The uncompressed size of the HTML is reduced by a factor of 17.<\/p>\n\n

Initial development of this plugin was commissioned by Google \u2014 many thanks!<\/p>\n\n\n

  1. Upload the ajax-comment-loading<\/code> folder to your \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/p><\/li>\n

  2. Activate the \"AJAX Comment Loading\" plugin in your WordPress administration interface<\/p><\/li>\n

  3. View a page with more than X comments.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    Why doesn't it work on my theme?<\/dt>\n

    Your theme may substantially deviate from standard WordPress comment section HTML layout. The plugin was developed against the Twenty Ten theme. Try another theme, or try standardizing your theme's HTML. I don't plan to add support for other markup \u2014 I'd rather that people work on standardizing their theme comment markup instead.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Doesn't this prevent search engines from seeing comments?<\/dt>\n

    No, it doesn't! Through the magic of Google's \"AJAX Crawling\" specification, search engines (currently Googlebot and Bingbot) will be made aware that the page includes AJAX-fetched content, and will request your page with a special URL that will have this plugin skip AJAX-generation and instead give the full HTML to the crawler.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
