Performance killer

Is there anyway to improve the performance delivery? My site dropped from 97% down to 50%!

Are you sure that hCaptcha is the culprit? Can you provide a link to your page with the performance issue?

Typically, I use the hcaptcha plugin, and gtag for tracking analytics and ads.

However, I performed Google Pagespeed Insights mobile simulated tests with gtag and hcaptcha both disabled, and performance is ~97%. See screenshot
With hcaptcha enabled, but gtag disabled, performance is ~50%. See screenshot

With only gtag enabled, and hcaptcha disabled, performance is ~80%.

Your links point to malicious pages.

If I try to open it without https

@kaggdesign The links go directly to each image file hosted on CloudUp.com – a service Matt Mullenweg also owns. What do you mean by malicious? When I attempt to open either link with only http, it just redirects to the httpsversion. If I copy/paste or click on my links I posted above, it takes me to the image. Does your browser contain malware?

URL should not be malicious, and secure:

Apologies. Something strange with my local Internet provider. First time I see it.

I have turned on VPN and now I can see your pictures and the website. Trying to guess what is going on.

Can you try to do two things?
1. Set “Delay Showing hCaptcha, ms” to 0. See the result.
2. Return delay to -100. Find the file src/php/DelayedScript/DelayedScript.php and replace
```
window.addEventListener( 'touchstart', load );
document.body.addEventListener( 'mouseenter', load );
document.body.addEventListener( 'click', load );
window.addEventListener( 'keydown', load );
window.addEventListener( 'scroll', scrollHandler );
```
to
```
const options = { passive: true };

window.addEventListener( 'touchstart', load, options );
document.body.addEventListener( 'mouseenter', load );
document.body.addEventListener( 'click', load );
window.addEventListener( 'keydown', load );
window.addEventListener( 'scroll', scrollHandler, options );
```
Kindly let me know the result in the case 1 and case 2.

Thanks.

@kaggdesign Unfortunately, neither option was better than the default. Option 1 seemed to return worse results when changing -100 to 0.

I realize calling 3rd-party assets could result in this kind of performance hit on slower connections. You’re already using a dns prefetch call, so I’m not sure what could be improved.

Using Lighthouse compared to PageSpeed Insights also returns very different results even though they both use a simulated slow 4G connection. So, neither seem to be reliable for simulated testing.

This is what I see now on your site.

It is not bad result. Something was changed on the site, it became sensibly faster and a kind of scroll was removed at the page load.

I think that hCaptcha is not a performance problem, actually.

Closing as no answer for a week.
