    Hi, I have noticed that when mail is disabled, checkout > thank you page takes 3 secs. However, when mail is enabled, the transition from checkout to thank you page takes 1012 secs.

    I am assuming that the delay is caused by email sending. How to delay the sending of mail by 30 secs, so that the order is placed first and after 30 secs, the mail gets sent?

    This would make checkout process considerably faster for all users of woocommerce.

    Hi @divijc.

    The plugin is not controlling how emails are sent, it just tells WordPress to use the SMTP server you set in the settings. The delay you described is caused by your SMTP server, so you need to see why it takes that much time for it to process emails. If you are not the one who owns it, probably it would be a good idea to switch so some other server. Normally, it shouldn’t take more than a second for SMTP server to process one email.
