• It’s adding 1.8 seconds of load time with its scripts alone, and that’s above what just manually adding analytics does.

    It’s funny that a plugin by Google triggers a fairly big warning in Lighthouse about it being too large.

    @clicknathan Thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts on the plugin. We value all of our users feedback on the plugin and are always looking to make improvements where needed.

    With regards to the load time, Site Kit alone doesn’t have a performance impact on the front end after it’s installed with Search Console. If you decide to activate Google Analytics, AdSense, Tag Manager etc, there will always be a trade off with performance as there are additional network requests made and JavaScript executed. This is the same with or without Site Kit.

    Are you seeing any noticeable impact yourself on your site when using Site Kit or do you have any issues with the plugins functionality at all? I’d be more than happy to look at your site setup to see if I can spot anything that could be contributing to this. If you’d like me to check this for you then please could you open a new support topic for this making sure to share your Site Health information. You can use this form to share privately if preferred.

    We hope to see you in the forums!
