 * Hello,
    I use the Lite version of the plugin on my site to test its functionality
   before moving to the full version. When I ran plugin performance tests (using
   tools like P3) and page load speed tests, I saw results that showed me that the
   Geotargeting Lite plugin was causing significant delays, adding as much as 3 
   seconds (40%) to my page load time. Is this a known issue, or is there a way 
   of mitigating this to accelerate the load speed of the Geotargeting plugin? Thanks
   in advance.

 * To be honest I don’t like P3 plugin, it never return accurate results and I prefer
   other tools such as [query-monitor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor)
   to test my plugins and develop them.
 * I found that sometimes your server configuration or plugins affect more of P3
   results than anything else. I currently ran a test on my local install and geotargeting
   plugin even don’t appear on the results. If you check the advanced metrics tab
   you will see actually how much time of your page load is taken by the P3 profiler.
   On my case the total page load time was 1.3631seconds and the profiler was taken
   0.7929seconds , simple do the math 🙂
 * That being said it’s possible than on first page load the user experience a bit
   of delay because the country calculation is performed ( on pro version city, 
   state, etc it’s also calculated) but then everything is saved into a session 
   variable , so every other page load is using cached data instead of doing calculation
   over and over again.

 * Thanks Damian.
 * It wasn’t just P3 that reported the issue. [http://www.webpagetest.org/](http://www.webpagetest.org/),
   [https://tools.keycdn.com/speed](https://tools.keycdn.com/speed) and [https://www.dareboost.com](https://www.dareboost.com)
   all reported that the Google Maps APIs called by the plugin were adding 2.6 seconds
   to every call, plus the additional 2 seconds added to load the geotargeting JS
   files.
 * > but then everything is saved into a session variable
 * Hmm.. this should make sense, but I see the Google maps APIs called every time.

 * We don’t use Google maps API, that must be another plugin.
