SumoMe may appear to add time to your page load but whats happening is called asynchronous loading, meaning SumoMe yields to your site, loading as passively as possible, always giving precedence to your site. We do not block any content or scripts on your page from loading. Our back-end is powered by a world class cluster of web servers with an average response time of 8 milliseconds.
We’re always working on optimizing load times and file sizes. To optimize download speeds we use a global CDN (Content Delivery Network) to deliver all of our assets, and utilize keep-alive requests. While there are “multiple requests” being made, they’re using the /same/ connection without disconnecting, which has the same net effect as a single connection.
We utilize caching and build our CSS on a per-app basis instead of a singular CSS file for all apps because having you load only what you use is more efficient and optimal. Our CSS is combined per app (for the app and user-facing) because we never want to have your visitors loading the admin CSS. For admin’s in particular, there are a lot more assets that load compared to a normal visitor, because of all the additional Tools and UI for using SumoMe.
So with everything loading behind a CDN and with our use of caching, the majority of all your visitors will only load our files once. Rest assured, we’re fully aware and make conscious choices to deliver SumoMe asset’s in the most optimal way.
