URL parameter generated by comments is slowing down site load speed

If I test my site’s loading speed in Pingdom tools, it shows that (http://i.imgur.com/rCUCT8W.png) every post on my site requests an URL which looks like http://www.techgainer.com/10-ways-to-speed-up-google-chrome/?cf_action=sync_comments&post_id=7886. For example, if you visit the post http://www.techgainer.com/10-ways-to-speed-up-google-chrome/, it will make a request to http://www.techgainer.com/10-ways-to-speed-up-google-chrome/?cf_action=sync_comments&post_id=7886 too.

And this is hurting my site’s loading speed as bad as this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/rCUCT8W.png

For you to make a try, here’s an URL

Hey Jaber,

Actually that sync is performed by Disqus to automatically sync our comments. You may disable it from Disqus settings. See this screenshot.

Please note that if you disable it your comments will not be synced to your WordPress db automatically.

PS: This feature is completely provided by Disqus and it is not a DCL feature.

I understand. But Why should this query execute on user side? Isn’t it something for system-side execution?
Is there any way to handle this? I mean, I want to stop this query for users, while keeping comments up to date.

Because Disqus comments are completely stored in their own server, not in our site db. So in order to sync, it will need to connect with their server from our site.

Unfortunately disabling this and keeping comments up to date will not work. 🙁

You may disable auto sync. Then also your Disqus comments will be up to date and your visitors will get comments up to date. But only problem is that it will not be stored into your local db. That you can do manually later, if required

Btw, I don’t recommend this method.

You mean, if I disable auto sync, Disqus will continue to work good for all, but the comments will only be posted to Disqus server?

Yes. Exactly.! And you may sync those comments to your local db later using our Sync feature in plugin options.

But please use this method only if you really need.
